I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2020
Interview
Applied via referral from a Microsoft employee (would recommend using this process when applying). The process started with a phone call from a Microsoft recruiter followed by 4 x 1hr Interviews over the space of a 2 weeks (via teams due to COVID) with different Microsoft employees.
Once the interview process had been completed the recruiter made a formal offer by the end of next working day.

Question 1
Would recommend using STAR (Situation, Task, Action and Result) format for answering competency based questions.
5 rounds of interview- 1 hour each. Logical questions related to the role and previous experience. Every interviewer was calm, kind and knowledgeable. The process was quick. The schedule was on time.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I first had a discussion with the hiring manager and then 3 short interviews with 3 different people that'd I'd be likely working with regularly. The interviews were focused on cultural attributes -- growth mindset, customer obsesses, diverse and inclusive, and finally One Microsoft.

Question 1
Tell me about a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
The Interview process was intense. I interview for the Bing Ads team and the questions were quite technical regarding experimentation and A/B testing. Focused on the publisher prespective and how the experimentation platform was built. Not much behaviourial questions were asked.
