Microsoft

Great experience. The questions were tough, but they have their standards to meet. Applied through an employee referral, cleared the phone screen, then drove to Redmond for the full onsite. Had three interviews there the same day.

Recommended by my schoolmate, I was invited to interview in less than one week. There were three rounds, and all of them were technical interviews with at least two coding questions. I received an offer before the third-round interview began.

The first round of the interview was very basic and included a design question and a few behavioral questions about teamwork. The interviewer was helpful and steered the conversation when I got stuck.
