I interviewed for the garage program.

• Completed a 45-minute phone screen where they asked about my interest in Microsoft, some design questions, and how to explain the cloud to a grandmother.
• They flew me out for on-sites a month later, which included a 10-minute presentation to a panel of interviewers, followed by four back-to-back technical and behavioral interviews (20 minutes for behavioral and 25 minutes for technical).

Overall, it was a fun interview process. The interviewers were very friendly, and it felt more like a nice conversation than an interview. I left with a very good impression of Microsoft.

I didn't do so well on two out of four technical interviews, but I believe I left a good enough impression that they decided to hire me.

Behaviorals: They asked about my projects (describe project, tech stack, challenges, etc.), group work, and my interest in the program.

Technicals: They asked a linked list, tree, 2D word search, and an arrays question.
