Process

I went through Microsoft's interview process, which kicked off with a series of back-to-back virtual interviews.

These included both behavioral and technical questions, handled by senior team members.

The final round was an "As-Appropriate" interview with a high-ranking manager who decided on the spot about my hiring.

The whole process took a couple of weeks to a month, during which they evaluated me on:

  • Collaboration
  • Customer focus
  • Adaptability

I prepared thoroughly and even practiced with the STAR framework for responses.

It was quite the experience!
