Applied during campus event at early September and invited to on-campus interview 2 weeks later. I thought I didn't do well on the interview, and didn't expect there would be a next step. However, 3 weeks after on-campus interview, I received an invitation to the final-round on-site interview at Redmond. At on-site interview date, there would be 3~5 interviews. Since I had an offer about to due, I told my recruiter to notify me the decision as soon as possible. At the end of the date, my recruiter told me that all the feedback were positive except for the last one which was not available yet. She promised me she would respond by early next week. I received a call from my recruiter and offer letter next Tuesday.

It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.
