1 technical round, then a second with two interviews. First one was very casual, second one a bit more involved. All remote interviews, where you do a shared coding sandbox with the interviewer.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2021
Interview
3 interviews - 2 technical, 1 behavioural. The behavioural part of the interview was fairly easy. the 1st technical interview was doable however the second one was very challenging. Overall it was quite difficult to get through the interview process.
Very cold and straight to the point interview. Not much description of the job I was applying for, or how the process would go. The interviewer was competent, the technical questions were difficult and did not really reflect the tasks of a software engineer.
