I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderabad) in Apr 2024
Interview
Process takes place in a single day with all major rounds, also the HR communication is not what you would expect of a big tech company. First you will receive invite for 2 rounds then if the feedback is positive then they will move forward with other rounds. I found the recuiter experience can be improved, by providing constant feedback, instead of just ghosting the candidates with no feedback.
Good, standard interview process. Recruiters took a while to reach out to schedule the interview. Interview went well and a standard question was asked. Overall - good, standard interview process.
Slow and minimal or no feedback after the interview. You have to push for feedback or wait for eternity . in my case waited for 2 weeks then pushed the recruiter for feedback
