I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2014
Interview
two phone interviews, one behavioral, one technical. The on campus interview was much more complex. 4 45 min on campus interviews (in one day) one with a high level manager, and 3 with serious programmers). the technical interviews were trickier, but they all asked unique questions relating to their roles in the industry.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you convert an Excel spreadsheet letter into an integer? and vice-versa
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.
