How it went
The interview process at Microsoft for a mid-level Software Engineer was efficient, with all stages condensed into a single week. Technical interviews focused on practical coding scenarios rather than typical LeetCode-style problems. The system design portion was notably open-ended, presenting ambiguous requirements without a specific prompt.
