Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Show experience of how you would work within a multifaceted team to achieve a common goal.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2024

The process was very frustrating, the hiring team kept on rescheduling the interviews multiple times. This broke the motivation and rhythm of my preparation. The hiring manager just rushed the interview without even giving time to answer the questions instead kept on talking in between.
