Great experience with the interview process, interviewers were very helpful and willing to help if I got stuck. Just be yourself and be sure of what you put on your resume. Also do some leetcode questions but don't stress too much about the technical interview as the interviewers will gladly help you out as long as you communicate well with them.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
First round was ~35 minutes of behavioral interview. Asked questions like “what is your favorite technology and why” and “how did you become interested in computer science?” Final round was ~45 minutes of technical interview and another ~45 minutes of behavioral interview. Coding interview was an easy leetcode problem and behavioral interview was simple. I didn’t get any PM questions.
