I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I submitted my resume in fall 2014, but they didn't reach out till March 2015. We did an on-campus interview. After a week they got back to me saying I did a good job but their headcount was full for summer 2015 internship. In August the university recruiter contacted me and let skipped the first round interview and flied me directly to HQ for 4 back to back interviews.
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.
