Microsoft Software Engineer long interview timeline experience

The most surprising part of my Microsoft process was its length. It took at least two months from beginning to end: about one month of interviews, then another month waiting for the decision.

There were multiple rounds assessing different skills. Interviewers gave hints, and I had to keep track of them and adjust my approach while time was running.

I did not receive an offer. The month of uncertainty after the main stages became a challenge of its own.

Location: Tunisia. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: no offer.
