I had a series of interviews with Microsoft for the MAIDAP SDE 2 position. The initial tech screen went well, and I felt confident about my responses. The interviewer asked about my experience with cloud computing and some coding problems related to data structures and algorithms.
The next round was a behavioral interview where I was questioned about my previous projects and experiences working in teams. It was good to discuss my contributions and challenges faced.
Finally, I had a final round which involved system design questions where I explained how to scale a web application. I leveraged various concepts from my previous roles. Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding experience.
