I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mumbai) in Jul 2019
Interview
They asked questions from graph tree Dp. Questions were average hard. You know a lot of things and you are enthusiastic and that’s good but instead of trying to learn a lot of things focus on concepts and getting in-depth knowledge because I think anyone can learn syntax using google and stack overflow but you should know concepts.
HR Interview: Some people had two HR interviews but I only had one and interview went up till 11:30 pm and you get only 5-10 minutes to prepare for HR on Zoom

I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Melbourne)
Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
