Interview
Received a mail about 1 month after applying online to set up a phone interview.
The phone interview was pretty simple, and lasted for about 45 minutes. The interviewer just asked about my projects on my Resume.
I received a mail within 3 days saying that u cleared the phone interview and inviting my to the Redmond office for an onsite interview. However, the actual onsite interview took place only after 2 months because of the sheer number of candidates they were interviewing.
The onsite interview consisted of 3 rounds (including a lunch interview). They asked me about some design questions and some related to Trees and Lists.
Two days later, I received a mail from the recruiter that I didn't clear the interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2015
