I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Was asked a code quiz. I made it quickly without too much challenge and that round got passed. The next round was not coding quiz anymore but a real problem the interviewer said he is handling, while that problem looks a bit weird to me..
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.
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.
Difficult interview
Application
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
