I had a Microsoft interview experience that involved multiple steps and technical assessments. The first round was a tech phone screen, and I faced some behavioral questions along with technical coding challenges. The interviewer was quite friendly. They not only asked coding questions but also focused on my past projects and experiences in the field. Overall, the environment felt collaborative. There were no tricky questions or unexpected surprises, which I appreciated. The technical challenges included common algorithms and data structures, and the interview lasted about 45 minutes. I hope to hear back soon.
