I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru)
Interview
I had two rounds of interview, both were technical rounds where I was asked DSA questions. The first round was pure technical but in the second round I was also asked some real life implementation of data structures. At the end I was asked if I had any questions for the interviewer. I asked him about the company culture at Microsoft, which tech stacks does he work on etc.
