I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Fairly simple and straight forward. It had some great insights and I felt like the hiring committee was genuine about helping someone new like me join the industry. The Microsoft interview process typically begins with candidates submitting their applications through the company's career portal. A well-crafted resume is essential to catch the attention of Microsoft's talent acquisition team. They carefully review applicants' qualifications, experience, and alignment with the role's requirements.
Quick 1 project walkthrough with the hiring manager, a 45-minute session with some quick back-and-forth questions at the beginning and towards the end, very easy-going atmosphere. Did use a case study deck to present my project

Interview
The hiring manager reached out to me, but It felt like i was interview her instead of she interviewing me. It was only 30 min, and it went back pretty fast. I felt like she didnt ask me the questions to continue the next step.
