I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Orlando, FL) in Sep 2016
Interview
On campus interview. Walked in a closed room, asked what language I wanted to program in. No behavioral questions. Was asked about my previous internship experience and what did I do at said company. After 2 minutes she said "ok that's enough" and gave me a piece of paper and told to have running code for the problem in 15 min.
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.
