I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
The first round was chill, just behavioral questions with the recruiter. Then the next round was the final round which was also mainly behavioral interview questions with a 10 min presentation on any topic. Process took months and the communication with the recruiter was a little off so it was confusing at times.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Singapore) in Mar 2025
Interview
The recruitment and interview scheduling process was smooth and well-organized. Follow-ups were timely and handled professionally. However, the HR representative was unresponsive and did not communicate effectively, which was disappointing given the otherwise professional experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Reston, VA) in Mar 2025
Interview
Combination of culture fit/standard screening, after that you get a consulting case to solve, then behavioral. Went through 5 different people working as Technical Consultants and other business functions there. Had 4/5 tell me they'd be looking forward to seeing me there in the summer but never ended up getting the offer sadly.
