I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2025
Interview
I went through four rounds of interviews, each lasting about 30 minutes. Each round was conducted by a different interviewer, and the questions varied quite a bit. Some focused on technical and programming challenges, while others were more about problem-solving, system understanding, and general technical knowledge. Overall, each interviewer had their own style, so the experience felt diverse and well-rounded.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sídney) in Sep 2024
Interview
The overall experience was really positive. The interview went smoothly, and I appreciated the chance to share my skills and learn more about the team. Unfortunately, I wasn’t selected this time, but I’m glad for the experience—it gave me valuable insight and confidence for future opportunities. Hoping the next one works out even better.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2024
Interview
Through a federal. Two 45 min interviews. One PM and on technical. The two interviewers were very nice and it was overall a good experience. I would say just make sure you know you’re data structures and algorithms and you’ll be fine.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They have two mystery functions and made me walk through what they’re doing. I was then asked to find repeating letters in a string and how I could count them.
