I interviewed at Microsoft (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Flew out to Microsoft's office in Pittsburgh, PA. The process was standard. 4 interviews with different people. Answered all of the questions with little help. Asked clarifying questions, explained my thought process, and expressed passion and the willingness to grow. Rejected shortly after I arrived home with no feedback on what I did wrong. They receive so many applications that I doubt they really care.

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.
