I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (New Delhi) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview process was good but there were too much rounds and in each round there were too many questions. Most of the questions were connected to the real worl problems which was great.
5 rounds happens mostly in microsoft:
screening, DSA, LLD, HLD, Managerial
Managerial can be general behavioural or they can ask again some problem or puzzle or HLD question
LLD, HLD is general standard coding rounds, but you need to have deep knowledge of the design
DSA generally includes array, string or dp questions with medium difficulties
