I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Recruiter contacted me and asked some basic questions ("Why do you want to work on this team," etc.), followed with a technical phone screening; I was told they wanted to fly me out to Seattle the same day. Had a full day of on-site interviews - meeting with the recruiter, manager of the team, 3 technical interviews, and a lunch interview (total of 6). Overall all of the interviewers were very friendly and knew how to jog a person's memory without giving them an answer.
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.
