Hi everyone, I interviewed for New Grad SDE role at Microsoft recently and wanted to check if anyone has seen a similar timeline. My process:
Online Assessment 2 Questions medium difficulty. Final Loop
Round 1 Coding and question on multi threading and asynchronous functions
Round 2 DSA easy question on strings
Round 3 DSA medium question on backtracking After the final round, I followed up with my recruiter. She did not reply, the initial email regarding scheduling of the final loop says result will be sent within 2 weeks It has now been ~8 days since my last round, and I've sent follow-up emails but haven't received any response yet. I'm confused about my current status. The portal status says "interview" Does this usually mean rejection, or is the application still in review? Any insight from people who have gone through this process or work at Microsoft would be really helpful. Thanks!
