Normal for Microsoft, phone screen, hr screen, and a full day of interviews (6) with each taking 1 hour, plus an informal lunch interview. Outcomes are normally decided fairly quickly with it taking up to one week. Often interviews are taking place with other candidates and the group decides on the group of candidates together, HR is on top of things and can generally answer most questions within a few hours,

Question 1
Some times logic questions are used to try and see how you reason but these are normally not the critical questions.
Interview was held over Teams and it was a straightforward process. The HR and Hiring Manager were very pleasant and they made me feel comfortable and valued throughout the interview.
