I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Coding based, several programming problems. Coding on the whiteboard which is not as straightforward as it may sound. There were several different interviews, all quite long, so you have to stay focused throughout the whole day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was a while ago, can't remember individual questions as there were multiple interviews.
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.
