I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2016
Interview
The process is fairly simple. Start with school interview that gives some technical questions. After the that, get invited to your work location for another round of interview. This time it has 2 rounds of interview. Generally, combined of behaviour questions and some technical questions. After that, a brief lunch was provided.

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.
