I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2016
Interview
First round was phone screening. Some logical puzzle; brain teaser.
Second round was on-site in Dublin. I was interviewed by 3 different managers/lead programmers. They had different questions/expectations, but none of them were highly demanding. Questions were simple and quick. I had to manually manage 1 hour of time per interview.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview was hard, even as a fresher the dsa they asked was hard category after I checked on leetcode. Though I couldn't solve it. Some of the other people who interviewed were asked easy - medium dsa
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
