I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sept 2015
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and was invited to a one on one interview. The interview took place at my university. The interviewer asked me about my projects since I have quite of few of them then he went on to ask me few basic data structures and algorithms questions as a warm up, before asking me two coding questions about algorithms.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Microsoft
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 June 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.
