Not as hard as I expected, the interviewer was very personable and easy to talk to. The questions seemed on target for my experience level. In the final round, they said they would give me up to 5 interviews, but only ended up asking me to do 2.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Pechino, Pechino) in Jun 2021
