I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jul 2023
Interview
The process was smooth and professional. Expect multiple rounds with a mix of technical deep-dives and behavioral questions. They really care about problem-solving and team fit. Prep your system design and brush up on your data structures—Leetcode is your friend. Interviewers were sharp but friendly. Overall, a solid experience!

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.
