I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Went through 2 rounds of Skype interviews and 1 HR phone call. They start off with the Lead of the role then the manager for that role and then HR (progress happens by being successful in each)
Overall, the communication was up to the mark where they convey that which level is being organized. The HR always calls to confirm incase there is a delay in e-mail communication. Naturally, if they tell you, it's round 2 means you were successful at the first round.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
