I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Ashburn, VA) in Jun 2024
Interview
Interview was technical, half of it was about mechanical process and half about electrical stuff. Mostly about hvac, compressers, refrigeration systems, and chiller systems. Hot bulb vs cold bulb,UPS, alternator, etc

Very good set up and preparations for the interview . Everyone was professional and there were snacks too.
Provisions were made from going to the interview location and the bus pickup station
Straightforward questions about background and work experience. Expect culture questions designed to evaluate attributes like inclusion and growth mindset. Four interviewers are pretty typical and they will generally interview virtually unless you ask for an in person interview.
