      Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 27, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Applied online. After the initial screening questions, I was invited to schedule an interview and provided my availability. After that, communication stopped completely—no replies to emails, and even the listed contact number was invalid. Two days before the interview, I had to reschedule due to a conflict and eventually discovered that the recruiting contact had changed without any notice. The new representative helped reschedule and clarified the process. Then, another two weeks passed with no updates. When I checked the application portal, I found that my application had been withdrawn without any notification. Later I was told that the original recruiter had left the company and my application had not been properly handled. The position had been filled internally, and all remaining applicants were rejected without communication. The process was disorganized and lacked transparency. Avoid applying here if you expect professional handling of your application, which is the most basic thing for every single company.

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
