I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublín, Dublín)
Interview
There was a phone interview followed by a full day technical and later management meeting. The phone interview was just a quick chat about my previous experience. The day long interview was with two software developers. They had a list of technical questions. Silly stuff really, difference between a struct and a class. Some object orientated questions. MSSQL database design schemas and the like. The two guys were pleasant. The managerial interview went well up to the point where he asked why I had listed Linux on my CV when I was applying to Microsoft. He seemed to be implying that I was a radically anti-Microsoft. It was unpleasant.
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.
