The Microsoft SDE interview process involved an initial online assessment focused on data structures and algorithms, followed by multiple technical interview rounds. These rounds tested my problem-solving skills, coding proficiency, and understanding of core CS concepts like OOP, DBMS, and system design. A final behavioral round with the hiring manager evaluated my project experience, collaboration skills, and cultural fit. The process was thorough and aimed at assessing both technical depth and team compatibility.
