I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA) in Dec 2019
Interview
1st round was a telephonic round where a HR went over my resume and asked basic questions.
He introduced himself first and then it was my chance to introduce myself. He was also interested in knowing what I wanted to become in 5 years. All the questions were pretty straightforward.
