I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Santiago) in Jun 2021
Interview
Role was more inclined to front end, Interview consisted on three rounds React, Systems design, and Algorithms, in the middle of each interview couple of questions about logging strategy, telemetry and privacy
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of logs / metrics you prefer to have in a product, in order to guarantee a good reliability and performance?
Questions on graphs and stuff 4 rounds it was not that hard but need to practice DSA to clear it , design round was mostly around my experience so if you’ve done design you can do it easily

Question 1
4 rounds don’t remember one question was recursion with backtracking type
Multiple stages. Last stage included a full loop with multiple interviewers. Questions seemed reasonable. If you do well but are not considered to be a diverse candidate, be prepared for a potential multi-month wait time to receive an offer. Microsoft is dedicated to building a diverse workforce and as such will wait as long as necessary in some cases to ensure a diverse talent pool has been considered for any given position. If a diverse candidate is interviewed with equal or better results than a non-diverse candidate, you can expect the diverse candidate to be extended an offer.

Question 1
Your team is needing a profile web control in their web app. Design such a control. Curveball: You discover that multiple teams across the company also need a similar profile web control in their experiences. How does this change your approach/design of the solution?
