I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2019
Interview
I got an email from Recruiter and it was a team event. After applying for a position she sent me a online test. I completed the test(basic tree question and math question and find bugs in the given code snippet was an easy one ) and passed it. Fortunately or unfortunately I don’t know the event was full. So after two weeks she sent me one more team event recruiting this time I didn’t take any online test directly I got scheduled to attend onsite interview. I was scheduled to attend 4 back to back 45 min interviews with 15 min break between rounds. They asked me about my current project and general behavioral questions. Every one asked me one problem solving question and some follow up questions. They all are basic array, string, sorting and data structures implementation questions followed by i asking some questions. It was an easy interview overall and the interviewers and recruiters were very friendly and were helping me with some hints.
