Heard back roughly a month after applying. Their process was:
1. Screening call with recruiter (behavioural)
2. Hiring manager call (technical)
3. 1 day onsite with 8 interviews, including a 1 hour presentation about myself.
4. 1 day onsite for a trial project.
I completed steps 1-2 and the interviewers were friendly. However, when I found out that they wanted me to take 2 days off + effectively 1 extra day for preparation, I declined to proceed. The team they were hiring for was very senior and working on one of MS's most popular products, so I understand that they wanted to be selective, but to me this felt excessive.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
