I contacted a recruiter on LinkedIn and an interview was set up. It was for a specific team at Microsoft.
Had one phone interview wherein the interviewer asked me 4 coding questions in the span of one hour. I don't remember all the questions but they were all in the domain of binary tree traversals. It went great. I could solve every question posed to me.
I was surprised that they did not select me for further rounds despite the interview going well.

After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.

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.
