During my Microsoft screening round for a Frontend Engineer role, the process began with an interview with a recruiter who discussed my background and assessed my fit for the position. Next, I faced a technical assessment that focused on my frontend expertise, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React. I was tasked with solving coding challenges, building interactive components, and showcasing my knowledge of responsive design and performance optimization.
