I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2024
Interview
1 day, 4 interviews, 45 min each. All the interviewers were helpful and collaborative. Each interviewer asked general behavioral questions and then asked a coding problem. 2 coding problems in each interview, the last interview had one problem but it was lengthy, so I assume 30 minutes to solve coding problems. and 15 min for other talks.
It was not easy but if have your basics strong , you can crack it easily. They focus both on theory and ur projects that you have created . all the best for your interview.
