      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      My profile was shortlisted and I was called for an interview in Gurgaon Cyber City by the HR. The MSIT team was from Hyderabad and I got a chance for 2 interview rounds there. The first round was very technical. The guy named Cyrus was looking very senior and after that I was asked by the HR to wait for the 2nd round.
