Microsoft

Applied online on Microsoft Careers. HR reached out to me. Had scheduled a screening round over Microsoft Teams. The position was for a Software Engineer (L59), not too difficult. Need to do coding online and must be working for all test cases.

Initial HR interview to start. Then 3 one-hour coding interviews. Various algorithm-based questions. Followed by a few testing questions around a specific product. Final interview with hiring manager.

Sharp questions, but nice interviewers. The computer science and system design problems were of average difficulty. The staff displayed a good attitude. The interviews are not impossible to pass; only basic preparation is required.
