I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
It was an on-campus interview, the interviewer asked me about my projects and then asked me about how would I scale it. I was looking for a frontend position, so the question wasn't well suited for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Display all the lower-upper case combinations of a string. Eg for 'ab' it would be 'ab', 'Ab', 'aB', 'AB'.
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.
