The interview process at Microsoft usually starts with an initial phone or video screening, often conducted by a recruiter. This is followed by one or more technical interviews, which may include coding challenges, problem-solving tasks, or system design questions, depending on the role. For some roles, you may also need to complete a take-home assignment. If you pass the initial stages, you're invited for an onsite interview or a virtual loop, where you'll meet multiple team members, including hiring managers, to assess your technical skills, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit. Finally, feedback is reviewed, and an offer is extended if you meet their requirements.
