Microsoft is a great company to start your career in. Salaries are good, the work is interesting, and colleagues are smart.
It is not that simple to filter out any particular thing which could be characterized as a serious downside to employment at Microsoft.
Interview Rounds: * DS - 2 rounds * System Design - 1 round * Managerial - 1 round * HR - 1 round This is the format I followed. I just cleared the DS round, but I could not clear the System Design round.
If you are applying through a job portal or as an external candidate, Microsoft may send an online coding assessment. Problems focus on data structures, algorithms, and system design. Typically 2-3 coding problems (LeetCode Medium to Hard level).
LeetCode style interview: 3 questions across 90 minutes. Candidates are given a web IDE and a choice of about 8 popular languages. All keystrokes and submissions are logged and checked by humans.
