I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Noida) in Oct 2023
Interview
There were two rounds of interview.
Firstly, there was an online assessment on the codility platform which consisted of two DSA questions.
The people who qualified the first round got the mail for the interview. The first round included two DSA questions which the interviewer expects to be solved by the interviewee in 45 mins.
Later on, based on the performance in round 1, people were getting mails for second round of interview. The second round was hybrid of DSA questions, projects, puzzles and some basic cultural fit questions.
1) Codility Test: online coding test.
2)Interview on Teams: After successfully completing the Codility test, the next step is an interview conducted via Microsoft Teams.
the interview was in 1 day .
