I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2021
Interview
HR online interview in English. This was the first stage of the process and after you pass it there are two more technical interviews with senior software engineers in Microsoft
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Why do you want to work for Microsoft?
2. Tell me about yourself.
3. What is the latest news you heard about Microsoft?
The OA was two Leetcode Medium questions, although the difficulty seemed to vary from Easy to Medium. Optimisation was critical to pass the tests. I think it was first come first serve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Combinations of binary digits, modifying strings in a certain manner.
Short interview over the phone about the neurodiversity hiring program. The interviewer was very nice and the program is tailored to neurodiverse individuals. Adjustments allowed:
-Longer breaks between interviews.
-Don't have to tell your manager or anyone else about your neurodiverse nature.
-Don't have to prove your neurodiversity.
Generally, easy questions, but really depends on your interviewer. Format is 3 separate technical interviews. I had 1 interview where I was made to use a language I have never used before which was unlucky, but i think this is a rare case.
