I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2020
Interview
I applied online and received an invitation for a phone screen a few days later.
The screen call with a recruiter was about 30 minutes and I was asked a mostly behavioral questions (team conflict) as well as a couple of design questions (ex. design a phonebook).
The final round, which took place about a month after the phone screen, was two remote 45 minute interviews through a platform similar to Leetcode. I had two technical interviews where I was asked to tell about myself, about projects on my CV and to solve a coding question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone screen question: What's your favourite product and what would you improve about it?
Final-round question: Given a string s containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid.
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
