I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
There is no tech question in the first Phone Interview.
The interviewer is a recruiter, so I think she doesn't know much about the software. And she was asking me while typing something on the board, I think she is writing something about me on their system.

Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
