I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Charlotte, NC) in May 2016
Interview
I got the opportunity to interview through a networking event. I interviewed for two different roles, Software engineer and Support Engineer. I had been to their office, and there were six back to back interviews each of 45 minutes. It was a mixture of some basic technical and behavioral questions. Within a week, I was told I will have a second interview with a hiring manager for the Software engineer position. I was excited that this was going to be a final round before they could decide about the job offer. But it was very tough, I did not expect a technical interview with a hiring manager. And I had cleared the preliminary rounds to get to this second round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some questions with SQL, Javascript and data structures.
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.
