Cloud Architect Interview Preparation Guide - Microsoft (Mid-Level)

Microsoft's Cloud Architect interview process typically combines technical assessment, system design evaluation, and behavioral interviews. For mid-level positions, expect an initial recruiter screening followed by technical phone interviews and multiple onsite rounds covering architecture design, cloud strategy, technical depth on Azure/multi-cloud platforms, and leadership/collaboration assessment. The process evaluates your ability to design scalable cloud solutions, justify architectural decisions, understand business trade-offs, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
