I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Providence, RI) in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied on campus career fair. The interviewer first asked about my resume and then comes a coding problem. I expressed my ideas and wrote code on the whiteboard. The problem was not too hard. I first of all did not think of a good way to solve it then the interviewer gave me a hint.

After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
