A corporate recruiter contacted me via email. After completing their OTS, I received an invitation to interview onsite in Redmond.
The entire process took one month. It seems they want to hire as soon as possible.
They extended an offer, which was lower than the average new graduate package. Additionally, they did not consider competing with my other offers and only gave me three days to make a decision.
Most interviewers were friendly and willing to engage in discussions. However, one interviewer was late and provided perfunctory responses to my explanations of my experience throughout the round. I felt as though that interviewer was busy with other tasks and simply wanted me to provide an answer.
There were many questions related to my background and work experience. They asked very detailed questions about the obstacles I tackled.
There were also some basic coding questions, which were about easy/medium LeetCode level.
Some small, quick data structure questions were asked from time to time.
