I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Contacted by Microsoft recruiter and Was Invited for One hiring event with 4 interview rounds with Senior Software developers in Microsoft Redmond office. Engineers were nice and friendly. coding questions were to be done on white board.
I received verbal offer from Microsoft recruiter on second day but have not heard anything back in couple of months for further steps. Although engineers were great. Still very much scope of improving very slow and inconsistent recruitment process.
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.
