J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Bengaluru) en juin 2021
Entretien
The interview process was standard.
This requirement was for Azure team
The first round consisted of a medium-level LC coding problem and some OS related questions. I was able to solve the problem and run through test cases but took few mins to debug for a particular test case. So the feedback was borderline.
The second round had some project-related questions, scenario-based questions, and one medium LC problem. The feedback was good.
The third round consisted of a system design problem. Although, I covered the all the points but the interviewer was expecting some more details especially around the services. The feedback was borderline.
- The second and third round feedback seemed fair. I still didn't understand why the first round feedback was borderline.

Started with a recruiter phone call and a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager to negotiate a remote role since the job was based in Seattle and the manager agreed. Following up with five rounds of virtual on site. Four of them are coding/design.
