I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderâbâd) in Dec 2023
Interview
Interview process was fairly challenging. But, with a little practice I feel you can clear it. Have strong projects listed on resume and have a good system design knowledge. DSA asked is mostly easy-medium level.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jan 2024
Interview
Total waste of time
* Applied online in November, only to get a response from a recruiter asking for my availability early January.
* I answer them back and they disappear for 3 weeks.
* I follow up and get a response from the hiring manager that they had some scheduling problems, then I receive an invite for an initial interview.
* Since I am in Europe and they're in PST, the interview happens to be past-midnight on my side, so I ask if we could reschedule.
* The next day I get an automated email that I am no longer considered for this position. No reasoning provided. Totally disrespectful.
The first Interview was with the Hiring manager, then I proceeded to have 3 interviews in 1 day. Then Finally I had the final interview. Got an offer in less than a week.

Question 1
The first interview was coding (data structure and algorithm).
The next 3 interviews were behavioral with coding questions.
The final interview was mainly behavioral and understanding my journey into software development.
