Interview process is long and can't get interview without reference. Even with reference the chances of getting a interview is low. Once you were considered for an interview the HR round will be difficult and easily reject you without looking at your knowledge.
HR rounds first, and then comes the hiring manager round with portfolio review.
HM is nice, not too many and difficult questions.
But I think I interviewed too late, I got rescheduled on time, and waited for three weeks to interview.
Me postulé a través de otra fuente. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en dic 2025
Entrevista
I interviewed with the hiring manager directly, and the following week, I was scheduled for a 1-hour portfolio presentation and 4 back-to-back individual interviews. The process was direct and quick.

In what way have you directly influenced a project, and what was the outcome?
Focused portfolio review with a panel, followed by a set of interviews focused in behavioural questions - it can be a long day(s) but fairly simple considering there is no design exercise or take home
