I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jun 2017
Interview
I interviewed for Microsoft Azure group event.
The overall process was nice, I first had online coding test with 3 questions, then they flew me to Seattle. Covered all my trip expenses.
The interview started at 12:30 and went on till 4:30.
There were 13 other candidates along with me, each of us was given a room. There were 4 interviews. Nothing too difficult, they would ask the basics, like the very basics. Make sure to practice whiteboard coding and write clean code. It's an easy interview, not like google. Don't try to study cracking the coding interview, I think even that was an overkill. They would be asking the most basics. So be prepared for that.
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.
