      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      Everyone was laid back and it didn't seem like an interview once you opened up. The interview process was set for 30 minutes but only took 15 minutes. Don't feel bad if it ended short.

      Question 1

      It depends on the team you are working with.
