I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Rochester, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
I attended a few Microsoft events, gave them a resume, and applied online. A few weeks later I was selected for an on campus interview(45 mins). About a week later I heard back from my recruiter and am now in the final round process of interviewing at Microsoft's offices in a few weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to find the least number of clicks it took to get to a webpage from some homepage. When each page was treated as a node in a directed graph.
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.
