Entrevista
Worst experience I've ever had. Did an initial on-campus interview with Microsoft. They asked a stupidly easy leetcode question where everybody who have studied beforehand would be able to get it in less than 5 minutes. I waited for two months but they never got back to me to schedule my on-site interview. I followed up with the recruiter multiple times and initially she said you will hear back in 1-3 weeks then it's 3-6 weeks. Honestly a waste of time. They treated you like second class citizen when you don't have a pending offer.
Advice to their recruiting team: if you want to use on-campus interview as a way to weed out people, maybe you should ask some slightly harder questions. Otherwise you can just fly everyone onsite and skip the on-campus interview. And you should also keep in mind that most people don't just apply to microsoft and a lot of companies offers expire in 1-2 weeks, which is not enough time to do an onsite and get the final decision.

45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
