I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Online assessment (90 minutes) - 1 debug, 2 coding questions.
Fairly straight-forward if you practice something like Leetcode.
A bit of confusing back-and-forth between the recruiter, but was invited to a virtual onsite afterwards.
Virtual Onsite (4 rounds, 45 minutes each) - Each round was with 1 person. They all asked behavioral questions as well as a coding question. Be sure to discuss through the coding questions thoroughly to eliminate any assumptions, my interviewers were looking for that.
The process consisted 3 technical rounds after clearing the OA , consisted of medium to hard story based question. Not all round interviewer asked to run the code the last 1 just asked the approach

Expect a lengthy hiring process that can take at least two months from start to finish. In my experience, there was approximately one month of interviews followed by another month waiting for the final decision. Be prepared for a slow timeline, especially after completing all interview stages.
