I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I applied, took the online assessment, and did a hiring event loop. The loop had 4 technical rounds, including a low level design. DSA. The hiring events are on Wednesdays.
Three rounds: online assessment with two LeetCode-style problems (medium difficulty, graphs and dynamic programming), a system design round focused on designing a rate limiter at scale, and a behavioral round with standard competency questions. Interviewers were professional and gave clear feedback between rounds.

Interview
I attended only the coding round session and was not able to get selected. The experience was good and need to learn harder for the next attempt for this same role
