I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Charlotte, NC) in May 2016
Interview
I got the opportunity to interview through a networking event. I interviewed for two different roles, Software engineer and Support Engineer. I had been to their office, and there were six back to back interviews each of 45 minutes. It was a mixture of some basic technical and behavioral questions. Within a week, I was told I will have a second interview with a hiring manager for the Software engineer position. I was excited that this was going to be a final round before they could decide about the job offer. But it was very tough, I did not expect a technical interview with a hiring manager. And I had cleared the preliminary rounds to get to this second round.
