I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sept 2017
Interview
The interviewer asked questions about my resume at the beginning. Then I had to write out a solution to a technical question/problem that I worked out on a whiteboard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an NxM array of integers, set each row and column to zero that has a key value in the row/column.
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.
