Intellectually stimulating work, good benefits, strong engineering culture.
The engineers are on the older side, which isn't bad. It seems like younger people use Microsoft as a stepping stone and jump ship to better companies like Google. However, if employee tenure is like 15 years or more, that is still good. That means they are doing something right at least (benefits).
Phone screen with multiple behavioral and technical concept questions, standard in-person interview with easy/medium questions (2 rounds). Offer received within a week after the interview rounds, pretty standard overall.
First Round: Campus 1-on-1 interview. Second Round: Three rounds of 1-on-1 interviews, with each lasting around 45 minutes. Normally, people who reach the second round easily get an offer, but I didn't.
The entire procedure was pretty chill. The hardest part is actually getting and clearing the OA round, but after that, it's smooth sailing. I didn't get selected in the end, but the process was wonderful.
