I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2024
Interview
Cold applied online, went straight to final rounds where they had two 45 minute interviews. Totally chill interviews, for each one, they started off with "Tell me about yourself" then asked 4 behavioral questions, then ended with a leetcode easy question. Had one coding question per interview, one of them was a String question and one of them was an Array question.

Question 1
When was a time when you worked in a team? What was the toughest part and how did you overcome it?
Interviewed once behavioral then two technical. Very simple questions and LC easy. They were forgiving if it didn’t run. Asked specific questions about projects from my resume, asking me to describe how I built them. Heard back within a week but status changed in portal before this.
i got straight to the final round, which was two back to back interview, and the first focused on behavioural, like describing a conflict between you and a co-worker, how would you reachout for help ina group project, and the second one was coding, where I had two questions, and both were easy leetcode question
