I applied in-person. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process starts with resume screening and an initial recruiter call, followed by technical or behavioral interviews with the hiring team. It may include assessments, panel interviews, and a final discussion with leadership. If selected, the candidate undergoes background checks, receives an offer, and completes onboarding. The process varies by company and role.

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.
