I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2012
Interview
I handed in my resume through school's career fair. Then MS contacted me very soon. An on-campus interview was arranged in the next week. The problems are not that hard. First is some questions about your resume. Then algorithm. But you should be well prepared for some classic algorithms and basic programming language knowledge. Due to the agreement, I can not tell too detailed about the question. But It's a very famous string algorithm. Due to my limited knowledge and the rush in preperation, I didn't get the offer.
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.
