Microsoft

I had five loops of one-hour interviews. One lunch interview lasted double the time of all the other interviews. The interviewer paid for the lunch. Overall, it was a good process. I loved it and decided to accept my offer.

It was difficult, but not impossible. As you might expect, it was less hands-on and more algorithm-heavy. If you prepare, you will do okay, provided you have memorized enough LeetCode problems. I would recommend prepping for a few weeks.

The questions asked were relevant to the field and were very good for assessing personality and background. What I also liked the most was the interviewer's curiosity about my past experience and the skills that I will bring to the company.
