To be honest the whole process was quite disappointing from all points of view. I have never had a call with a recruiter to discuss the position, I was not informed at all about the process and next steps. It took 8 months to receive an offer. Recruiters would contact me via email every 3-4 weeks to urgently schedule the next interview within the next 3-5 days. They wouldn't tell me what the interview was about. After each interview, I wouldn't receive any feedback during 3-4 weeks again. I did 6 interviews, in this order: 3 coding, 1 SQL, 1 system design, 1 culture fit. Interviewers were mostly nice (apart for one checking his phone and arriving 15min late) and problems were leetcode medium. The SQL interview didn't go well, since I wasn't prepared at all and not expecting it. The diversity of interviewers was very low (they were all 40 years old male principal engineering managers). Plus I had to do several interviews at 8-9PM because they were in the USA. After this super painful and long process, I've received an insultingly low offer. After several years (6+) of FAANG experience and a solid interview in system design, I would have never expected to be offered a junior position. I don't think I'll apply again at Microsoft any time soon.
