I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (London, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
The recruiter informed me a week before that I would have a 30-minutes interview for the role. The structure of the interview was 15 minutes behavioral and questions on my CV, almost 10 minutes a technical question and I also had 3-4 minutes to ask any question I had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Tell me about your experience (Questions on my CV).
2) Tell me about a time in your working experience when you dealt with a problem with a colleague and what did you do.
3) Reverse a Linked List.
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.
