I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Applied just in case and ended up getting an interview scheduled around 2 months after applying (online coding interview with one employee). Then for the next and final rounds was interviewed by 3 different people both on behavioral and coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For behavioral it's most of the usual stuff (strengths, how do you work in a team, what would you do if ___), for the coding questions I got really lucky and was mostly asked arrays & strings questions. Now the string questions I could have done much better on but the arrays were great, really leetcode easy-medium.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in May 2024
Interview
3 * 45min each interview focusing on data structures and algorithms. all the 3 interviewers were asking leetcode easy to medium questions. Go through few behavioral questions like tell me about the time when you had conflict with one of your colleague. and tell me about your project

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Mar 2021
Interview
I got an email for schedule round 1 via codility. 45 minutes with questions related to scheduling.
I received an email for the final round within one week. I received an email from a recruiter that they will contact me further. Someone from their Team asked me to schedule a final round interview. 4 round 45 minutes each with leetcode questions and behavioral questions. little bit of system design questions as well.
