I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Aug 2022

Focused mainly on technical questions with a few minutes given to do coding questions. Some interviewers will give helpful hints allowing you to solve the coding questions, whereas others won't.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Phone call with HR, and then there was a short zoom HR interview. There was a short home assignment, 2 interviews on zoom with senior engineers. After passing those interviews I was interviewed by the team leader. Overall a good experience, but they did not give me an answer on the date they said they would which contributed to me signing with a different company.
