I applied in-person. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mumbai) in Jan 2021
Interview
The recruiter explained me what the company does and asked about my current work experience. Then he applied me for one of the open roles and shared a link wherein I had to write a story of atleast 500 words about my journey so far. I was little surprised. The recruiter mentioned that the story should abide by the above rule and not doing so would eliminate me from further rounds. After submitting the story, I got the link for OA.
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.
