I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Gave my resume to an employee at a coding event at my school. Following a relaxed behavior/OOP on-campus interview, I was invited to their Redmond, WA campus. They pay for everything, give you a big meal stipend, and shack you up in a nice hotel so it was a pleasant experience. 4 interviews in a row, more or less; really only 1.5 were technical but I know SWE's that had more.
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.
