I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Jan 2014
Interview
Phone interview followed by in person interviews, there can be up to four interviews each with different goals, each interview was technical. You will not necessarily get all four interviews.
One interview was had a design question, two had algorithms questions and one had an implementation question. Between the interviews you are sat with a recruiter in a room with the other potential candidates. The recruiter talked about Seattle, Microsoft.
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.
