I interviewed at Microsoft (Nova Deli) in Jul 2021
Interview
4 rounds - 3 Techincal + 1 Managerial. Appeared for the Azure compute team hiring.
Technical rounds included system design and some basic DS & algo. Managerial round was more of another technical round where the manager was trying to show off his knowledge in OS. It looked like he was interviewing for some kernel developer which was nothing related to my work experience. The guy seemed least interested and was yawning and coughing throughout the interview process. Some lame questions were asked which was mostly related to the work his team does, any outsider without enough domain knowledge would find it difficult to comprehend any of it in 10 mins and come up with the design for it which otherwise must have been built by a team working over a period of time. Kept asking things from C/C++ which was not even my skill set. Overall a very bad experience, expect the manager to just spend some time over the candidate profile to look for basic match before calling for interviews, it was a such waste of time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Nova Deli) in Jul 2021
Interview
It's a Day Activity. Interviewer made me comfortable. Two Technical Interviews happened for me. I have answered well and interviewer also said Many positive things about me and Finally Result came as Negative for 2nd round. Up to my Knowledge It's was right and It's a Shock for me to digest the Result. I think it's just fo the number they call for the interview. Please give proper feedback, If you are saying in the end "Your profile is very impressive and it was Nice Learning with you, Sharing knowledge mutually etc and I will update the same to HR" afterwards Result Negative means?
Out of the Box Performance.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Praga)
Interview
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds. 3 Technical rounds and 1 Behavioral round.
The first stage was mostly discussion about what I do and then some relatively easy coding task.
Second stage was 2 Technical Interviews back to back same day with 2 engineers. Very smart guys very friendly discussions and no tricky questions. Each interview consisted 3 to 4 tasks. A simple one in the beginning, then they would make it a bit harder, then harder again and then a difficult one.
If you are well prepared(Leetcode, Codesignal, Algoexpert, e.t.c) then you have nothing to be afraid of.
Overall I was impressed with the experience because it was fast, professional.
