I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru)
Interview
Microsoft came for campus recruitment. First, they took an online coding round on CoCubes platform (very bad platform). It consists of 3 fairly average coding questions. The interview process was eliminative in nature. They were planning to take max 3-4 rounds for each candidate. There was a huge emphasis on system design and pen-paper coding.

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.
