The interview process consisted of 6 rounds, with the first 2 being telephonic.

Telephonic interviews were simple and focused on standard testing questions.

The third round was a "hands-on" assessment. In this round, candidates were given 4 hours to prepare all necessary testing artifacts for a sample application. This included creating a test plan, test strategy, a few test cases, and a bug report, in addition to performing thorough testing.

My assessment of the third round: It felt more like a "school analysis." If you presented more pages of test artifacts, you could potentially impress the interviewer.

However, I discovered a personal shortcoming during this round: "Time management." I believe companies like Microsoft, or any other product-focused company, would emphasize this aspect.
