I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Straightforward university hire process with one phone screen and a final round of ~4-6 interviews. Performance can make it so that less are needed. Just study up on Leetcode and Microsoft culture
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array with one majority element, what is the MOST efficient way to determine what element that is?
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.
