I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2013
Interview
You’ll meet with your potential coworkers and team; you’ll typically meet for up to an hour each with three to six people during your interviews.
In most cases, you’ll interview with people on two teams within a single product group or two different teams working on entirely different products. We try to find the best fit based on the team's business needs and your own skills and interests.
You’ll have a chance to look around. We'll make sure you have time to see campus and get a feel for the area that may soon become your home.
Be open about your skills. Be upfront about what you do know and what you do not. If you don’t have the exact skill that an interviewer asks you about, don’t panic: part of the interview process is learning and dealing with ambiguity.
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.
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.
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.
