Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) en nov 2010
Entrevista
I was placed into the Employee Referral Program after being referred by a friend who works there. Two recruiters contacted me within a week to set up a telephone interview. I was then invited for an on-site interview within two weeks. The scheduling process was very disorganized and I was not informed until the day before my interview about my schedule. The on-site interview process itself was cloaked in mystery and I was not told how many interviews I would have during the day. Like I read somewhere, in spite of being interviewed by multiple people, you get to make only one first impression because the every interviewer passes on his views to the next interviewer. If your first interview goes badly, the following interviewers will have a poor impression of you even before you meet them.
The interviewers were cordial and asked mentally stimulating questions. The questions were a good mix of problem-solving and analytic thinking. Overall, I was impressed by the interviewers and enjoyed my conversations with them, but frustrated by everything else (recruiters, schedulers, etc)
1 Technical Screen, Leetcode Hard question about Graphs. Interview loop over two days, 4 rounds. 3 rounds had Leetcode Medium/Hard along with System Design questions and behavioral. Manger round was mostly behavioral along with a design question. DSA went well but the design questions were not upto the mark.

Entrevista
The process was very simple. Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. Finished the online coding assessment.
From there a Microsoft Hiring Event day was scheduled.
Interview was pretty simple, Straight up leetcode. didn't even change the examples.
1st interview was medium leetcode. When I solved it in 15 mins, 2nd question was asked, After that a behavioral. This interview was finished in under 40 minutes
2nd interviewer asked a very common leetcode question. He asked me if I saw that question on leetcode. when I solved that he asked me to optimize it which I did. And then a behavioral.
3rd interview was OOD after a behavioral question. The interviewer did not ask any follow up questions. This interview was finished in under 40 minutes.
4th interview was a Tree based question which was also solved in the most optimal way. Interviewer mentioned that he has very less experience in java and couldn't understand some of the code. No follow up questions. there was another behavioral question. This interview was also done in 40 minutes.
When i checked with recruiter I was told that I was rejected. I was very confident about this interview. I still don't understand why I was rejected.
