I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Awesome process, quick and simple. The people who interviewed me were super friendly and open.
The process lasted for 2 months when I got the offer.
Only 2-step interview process, first and final rounds.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
First was 30 Minute Phone Screen - scheduled pretty quickly and screener was friendly and thorough. Asked behavioral questions and shared next steps. Encouraged questions at the end as well, it helped to be curious! Next was a final interview, fully remote, scheduled within a week
Prepared for interview by answering many questions i thought could be asked. I was too prepared and was told that I should not prepare as much. I passed the first round interview, however, my Masters program started at a different time than they preferred.
