Microsoft Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Three rounds in total. First round feels like a tech screening, check if you can code. I was asked to implement a LinkedList and find a way to check if the LinkedList contains a loop. The second round feels a bit like system design, I need to write some pseudocode to implement a Google Drive like system. The last round is a difficult leetcode problem. During each interview they ask you some behavioural questions too. There are long waiting period between each interview. For me it took at least 1 week for recruiter to get back, and another 1 week to schedule the next interview. After the last interview it took 3 weeks before the recruiter got back to me.

There were two rounds of interviews. I passed the first round but wasn’t selected in the second, which I expected since there was a lot of new information I needed to learn in a very short period of time. Two advices: practice LeetCode more and improve your system design skills.
