The sources called and scheduled an interview day.
I had 3 interviews back to back.
Each had a short small talk with the interviewers and a Leetcode style questions, and your answer must compile and work.
Heard back roughly a month after applying. Their process was:
1. Screening call with recruiter (behavioural)
2. Hiring manager call (technical)
3. 1 day onsite with 8 interviews, including a 1 hour presentation about myself.
4. 1 day onsite for a trial project.
I completed steps 1-2 and the interviewers were friendly. However, when I found out that they wanted me to take 2 days off + effectively 1 extra day for preparation, I declined to proceed. The team they were hiring for was very senior and working on one of MS's most popular products, so I understand that they wanted to be selective, but to me this felt excessive.
Very difficult needs lots of study on algorithms. Study leetcome DSA OOP and lots of more . They asked for no experience but they expected more from me what should I have done. It was very difficult
