I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Prague)
Interview
applied online via recruiter
multiple stages:
- recruiter
- screening (30 mins) with engineer
- main interview day (4 interviews 1 hour each 1 on 1 with engineers asking questions and telling about themselves/ their experience)
- discussion and presentation with hiring teams
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
simple algorithms, system design, oop basics plus small exercise
lots of non technical discussion regarding processes and my approach to work motivations, etc
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.
Difficult interview
Application
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
