Microsoft Software Engineer interview experience

Even though the interviewers themselves were good and the conversations went fine, the waiting between interviews became a big part of the experience because it ate up so much time.

By the end, it felt like there were lots of stages and a long timeline rather than a quick loop where you immediately see progress. I didn’t receive an offer. My honest reflection was that the process wasn’t necessarily unfair, just drawn out enough that the downtime made the overall experience harder to manage.
