Interviewed Mar 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
Recently there was an opening with MS-Hyd for Senior Software Operations, It’s dream come true for any IT professional to join MS (even getting shortlisted for interview is an achievement). I was approached by 2 top staffing agencies in India for this position and none of them able to get my profile shortlisted. (95% of the staffing agencies can’t be trusted). I saw the same opening on naukri which I applied but there was no response so I thought it might have got rejected again ? but to my surprise I got a call from MS-HR on a Saturday noon to appear for F2F interview, I was given the slot for next day (hardly a day to get my self prepared for MS) as they were visiting Pune for recruitment. I tried to get more information about the interview process and details and clarification from the HR but they didn’t took much interest in telling me the details, so based on the requirements mentioned in the JD I prepared myself and reached venue on time on Sunday. Finally panel arrived and after waiting for 30 min’s I was being escorted by HR to the interviewer cabin. (except his name I still don’t know his designation). He briefed me about the profile and started his technical round, to my surprise that guy was more interested in those areas where he had expertise without looking at what exp. and expertise I have. I was being grilled badly by him because the technical round was out of my expectation and my expertise area. So this way I lost an opportunity to be part of MS just because of ignorance of the HR panel for not providing me correct information and insufficient time to appear for the interview (considering it’s MS and not any tom,dick and harry company). I was really frustrated and annoyed the way this ended. My suggestion to everyone being called for interview is to get as much details from HR before appearing for interview (F2F, Telephonic or Written) otherwise you will be also ending up in same fashion. As per me I would rate my interview process “Very Tough” just because of incomplete information provided to me. Good luck to everyone!!

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 days)
A Certain number of students, selected from all-over the country were called to Microsoft IDC, Hyderabad campus. There was a written test consisting of 5 questions. Two of the Questions required us to create an algorithm and write solid code, while the rest were open ended questions on design patterns and testing. After the written round, out of 300 candidates 16 were selected for the interviews. There were 4 interviews - all technical in nature. Each interview lasted for around an hour. The Questions were highly thought-provoking and we were asked to write solid-code for all of those. Questions ranged from questions as simple as writing code to implement an algo with restrained complexity to designing a revolutionizing system for handling complex real-world issues. The Interviews were none less that awesome!

The Interviewers at Microsoft play the A Game! They can see right though you and so it is best if one behaves naturally. Even if you are not able to solve a problem in the first few minutes, it is advisable to verbalize what you are thinking so that they can follow your thought process.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
Microsoft IT, Hyderabad came on my college campus providing internship to selected students. A quick elimination in written test was followed by 4 rounds of interview ( 3 tech + 1 hr).
Interview for college students is not herculean hard. Stick to basics - data structures, OS, OOP, databases. Be sure that you know A-Z of everything you mentioned on your resume.
I did get selected as an intern for 8 weeks at MS IT, Hyd. The work culture is awesome, with all the perks you can wish for including pool tables, tt, free beverages and such. The people of team that I joined were supportive and the work cut out for me was definitive. So just worry on how to get there, and not on what will you do once you are there.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 4+ weeks)
It was a lengthy process (8 rounds) with no clarity of what the management was looking it. Inspite of repeatedly asking about the competency requirements, the recruiter was not open enough to share. May be she had no clue.
In my opinion, if I interview Bill Gates for so many rounds, I will find a reason to reject him as well. So I knew I am not a fit there even before they got back to me.
Quite a gaseous place

Questions were a mix of business, technology and puzzle questions. For example, I was asked to design an alarm clock for the blind. Another question was to develop the feature requirements for the next version of Microsoft Outlook. Generally, they are trying to see how you think and whether you can come up with innovative solutions for everyday problems
