Interviewer asked for a resume summary and several behavioral questions. The interview was very short, as it was only for the first round. Interviewer sounded very ambivalent before I even began to speak.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Singapore) in Mar 2025
Interview
The recruitment and interview scheduling process was smooth and well-organized. Follow-ups were timely and handled professionally. However, the HR representative was unresponsive and did not communicate effectively, which was disappointing given the otherwise professional experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Reston, VA) in Mar 2025
Interview
Combination of culture fit/standard screening, after that you get a consulting case to solve, then behavioral. Went through 5 different people working as Technical Consultants and other business functions there. Had 4/5 tell me they'd be looking forward to seeing me there in the summer but never ended up getting the offer sadly.
