I recently had the opportunity to interview for an engineering position at Microsoft, and the overall experience was both challenging and insightful.
The interview process was well structured and professionally managed. Communication from the recruitment team was clear, timely, and respectful, which helped set the tone from the beginning. Each stage was clearly explained, including the interview format, expectations, and evaluation criteria.

A: One key question they asked me was to walk through my approach to solving a real engineering problem. I was asked to explain my thought process step by step, discuss possible solutions, consider trade-offs, and justify my final decision rather than just giving a correct answer.

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.
