I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I was interviewed directly for a team (not a hiring event) at Bellevue, WA. The process took nearly 1 month. It all started with an initial phone technical screen with the hiring manager for about 1 hour. It was a coding interview. Then after 2 weeks I had three rounds of technical interviews two of them are coding and one is system design. I cannot post my questions here since I signed the NDA form. But as a guidance to someone preparing, I would say practice a lot on Leetcode. That would help you to think in different ways even if you get a question that you haven't seen before.
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.
