The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY)
Interview
Overall the process was good. I just felt that the position for which I was interviewing, they have already selected someone and they were just doing a formality because they have told me that before that I have cleared telephonic round. When the recruiter called me to tell me the result he mentioned you had less experience compared to the person whom team has selected. Felt really bad because they should have not given me a call if I was less experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
Phone call with recruiter. Online technical screen - timed for an hour.
Onsite with O365 team 4 simple questions.
Could not gauge their feedback to be accurate, but that may be because I didn't get it.
They seemed like a mass hire team so make sure you understand what the job requirements are and how you fit in. Overall, nice people, but very hard to read.
Feedback while doing the questions was pretty minimal, so their involvement in it seemed like they wanted the correct solution that they knew of and end it there or you're done but I'll still give you a thumbs up approach.
