Normal interview process, nothing out of the ordinary. Process did drag out a little from start until final round. Interviews were well prepared (looked at resume and likely chatted with each other before the interview).
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in May 2023
Interview
