I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Richmond, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview process was excellent. It began with the application, followed by an exam. After the exam, an HR call scheduled a comprehensive 3-hour interview. If you pass the initial exam, you will be given two medium-level LeetCode problems during the interview, which is extremely difficult.
I had a recruiter phone screen followed by a coding assessment, which I cleared. The questions were manageable. The overall experience was smooth, the interviewer is friendly, and currently waiting for the final interview loop.
