I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
It was an on-campus interview at my university. I was called for the first round through the campus career fair. The interview lasted for around half an hour and was easy enough to get me to the next round at Redmond.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design question: How would you design a restroom for the handicapped (which includes the blind, the deaf and the people on a wheelchair)
Programming question (Really simple): Write a program to reverse a string.
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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
