I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The interview consisted of 2 back to back interviews via teams video call, each lasting 45 mins and half of that time spent on behavioral questions while the other half was spent on a programming problem. So, a total of 2 technical questions were asked. The interviewers I had were kind and got straight to the point. No time felt wasted.

Interview
The first round was technical. The interviewer was friendly and cooperative. She was kind enough to ask me which topic on DSA I'm comfortable with. She gave two questions on string only. The interview went quite well from my side but maybe she wasn't satisfied.
