I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2011
Interview
Meet with Microsoft representatives at a career fair. Several weeks later, I was selected as a candidate and asked to fill out an employment survey. List the types of products and services you are interested in, and what team (Software engineer, software engineer in test, or program manager) you would like to work on.
I interviewed on campus a week later. This consisted of general questions about my background and experience, and followed by a technical question.
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.
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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
