I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2021
Interview
Very bad experience as the screening interview was outsourced to a separate company (not from Microsoft). Questions involved were for instance "scales and splitting a 20KG rock into 4 so you can measure from 3-40KG" IIRC. The behavioural interview thus did not at all evaluate my eligibility for the position.

There is a phone interview followed by a final round interview. The final round interview consists of two parts (same interviewer): behavioral and technical. Overall, the interview process is fast and efficient.

Question 1
Behavioral: - Favorite Microsoft product? How would you improve it? - Why did you study technology? Technical: - Explain recursion to a kid. - Difference between a process and a thread. - Implement post-order traversal of a tree. The problems are relatively straightforward.
I got selected for Microsoft engage 2022. They have given 3 problem statements and have to select one problem statement and develop a project. After 1 month of mentorship I have given an interview for internship.
