I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Oct 2023
Interview
first was resume shortlisting round, after which I received their mail asking me to schedule an interview. yes, I took a referral and scheduled my interview 15 days later. in round 1 they asked me 2 dsa questions of medium level one from linked list and another from tree I was able to solve both. later I received a mail that I had qualified, in next round again they asked me DSA questions from graph and trees however I was not able to solve the graph problem I received a mail stating that I have not qualified.
good interviewer, pushing me in the right direction. it was a 45 minute interview. one question was asked.No introduction or formalities. It was a Technical Interview which took place after an OA. The wait was long between the two.

It was very light and medium paced. Started with intro, moved to resume based questions then DSA and then fundamentals. The guy taking my interview was very chill and supportive.
