I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Nueva Delhi) in Aug 2016
Interview
First an online coding test on cocubes.com There were 3 questions in the test.
Some who did 3 weren't selected, others who did 2 got selected, so optimisation and lines of code do matter. Results were declared after 1 week. Then a group fly, almost half of the candidates got rejected after this. Three more interviews were held the day.
Final results were declared after 2 days
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an alphabet set, different from the a-z normal set, and then for two strings, we had to write our own strcmp function. (Maps not allowed)
Reverse a linked list in place, where you are not allowed to tamper a given node (pointer to the node was given). Include all the edge cases
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.
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.

Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
