I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2022
Interview
Interviewer opened up by asking questions from my resume and behavioral questions. We then moved forward to a coding round about finding if a substring exists in another string. They than followed up by asking the time complexity of the problem. The interview was concluded by asking system design questions regarding developing a messenger application.
Didn't like it. Very stiff, didn't get a sense of the culture at all. But they make some really cool stuff. I liked the other intern I met. And the snacks were great.
