I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Londres, Angleterre) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online on Microsoft's job site by sending my CV in. A recruiter called me a few weeks later to say they were interested in interviewing me. They gave me a takeaway code challenge and scheduled time to go over it on the phone with a senior engineer on the team. Then after the phone interview a series of onsite technical interviews involving whiteboard coding, general problem solving and code observation skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would prefer not to disclose exact questions, but topics involved general programming interviews and problem solving with a choice of whiteboard or laptop.
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.
