The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
four guy interviewed me in the interview and basically they asked not very hard questions. if you read book like programming interview exposed, you should be able to handle it.
I think I failed at the last round, in which it was the manager. the manager ask me to get a design problem, but obviously, i am not prepared. I have heard before that the manager will not ask programming questions, thus I was not prepared for that.
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.
