I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Simple process initial OA which had medium leetcode questions and then 5 rounds of coding interview. The interviewers weren't the most friendly but they helped along the way. The manager asked a LLD question and was sticking to my response using C or C++ language which did not reflect my preference as a coding language
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Add two numbers using linked list, find duplets in an array and a made up question which need priority queue as a data structure for scheduling jobs in a factory
I thought the interview was moderately difficult. Tghere were a number of algorith-type questions which I thought went ok. No offer as of yet - good experience though. I will try to interview again with Microsoft as soon as is practically possible?
