Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process involved four remote rounds.

Three interviews were with members of the team, and one was with HR. Each interview lasted approximately one hour.

Technical questions were presented casually. Whiteboarding or formal solutions were not necessary; instead, the process involved a cooperative discussion on how problems could be solved.

I felt the interviews went well, but I did not receive any further contact from Microsoft, not even a response to my follow-up email.

Questions

The interviewer presented me with a GUI application and its C++ implementation files, then asked me to explain how some of the features in the application were working.
