I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2013
Interview
Submitted application online then was contacted for a phone interview. The phone interview was easy, just you basic questions. I was called for a on-site interview. The on site interview can be between 3 an 6 separate interviews. All of them where one on one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They start of easy with your basic algorithms and data structures. (you have to code them on the whiteboard) Then they tell you to write a piece of code which would be part of a greater app. I guess how hard the interview gets depends on how well you do.
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.
