I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2016
Interview
Firstly I got an email from Microsoft and talked with a staff on skype. Secondly, I had a technical interview too on skype. Thirdly I went to microsoft office in another country and had a big interview which was done by 4 people. All of them is controlled by many people and all of them are very friendly and professional.

during my big interview, I had 4 different interview with four difderent people. they were very polite and helpfull so you feel relaxed during the interview. they asked some questions which should be done using linkedlist, quicksort. besides one of them asked about how I can test my code and what kind of things should be important for testing.. they also asked for about what is race condition, scaliability of project, testing techniques, agile methodologies..
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.
