I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Zagreb) in Jan 2018
Interview
I only reached the first stage of interview process, where I had Skype Interview. Interview started on time, the recruiter with whom I spoke was very pleasant and we had a nice talk about my experience, past projects, specifying one project and giving more detailed look at it, technologies I used and similar questions. The negative part of the process came after the interview, I was told that I'd be notified in two weeks whether I will advance to next phase or not. However that answer came after roughly three months which is just unacceptable, I even sent out 3 or 4 emails during that period with no response.
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.
