Entrevista
One of the worst experiences, highly unprofessional from Microsoft. Did not mention they are running a hiring drive, was made to wait for 4 hours literally and then evaluated for just a 10 min round with the most arrogant of the recruiters. All went absolutely well, and I was asked to wait for second round but then after 30 min of more wait, they came with the lamest of responses - "We will get back to you " . Clearly don't value the time of a professional, from where he is coming on a Sunday eve and in what circumstances. Clearly indicates how well you treat your prospective employees and how much concerned you are with their careers.

Very basic questions around evaluation metric, overfitting etc.
Feeling thrilled to have accepted the offer, I look back on this interview process as both challenging and rewarding. It began with a technical round where I tackled a complex A/B testing design question, followed by a SQL query on user retention. The final stages included a system design discussion that had me sweating, but honestly, the system design section on PracHub prepared me well. Each step pushed my limits, but the culmination was definitely worth it, landing me a role at Microsoft.

Design an A/B test to measure the impact of a new ranking change in Bing, and explain how you would handle network interference between treatment and control users.
Write a SQL query that computes 7-day rolling user retention from a daily events table, then flags cohorts whose week-over-week retention dropped more than 10%.
Phone screen with HR/recruiter. Less than 10 mins. Very basic mostly about role fit and my background and resume. Did not hear back from them at all. Very unenthusiastic during the call

Overall 3 rounds with 2 technical and 1 managerial. The 1st round was DS and ML heavy with some analytics. The 2 nd round was resume, SQL and causal /AB experimentation. The managerial round was resume related and some behavioural questions.
