I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2022
Interview
Asking about the resume, the interviewer wants to know details about the project you have been done, and then coding questions. They don't ask any behavior questions.
The coding questions are not that hard. The only thing is that their environment is different, need some time to familiar with it.

Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
