I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Houston, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
I got the interview at the Grace Hopper Conference then proceeded to go on to the second and final round of interviews. That was when they flew me to their offices in Seattle for the final round. It was all very quick the first interview was behavioral and the final round was technical. The final round was 4 hours long.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you check to see if a tree is balanced or not?
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.
