      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      First rounded consisted of about 50 questions on aptitude which we were supposed to solve in 45 minutes.This was followed by technical round,which had questions on DS,OS,DBMS,C++,C.Then came the technical interview followed by the H.R round.The questions in the technical round were easy as well.But they asked in depth about the resume.They mostly checked us on our basics of DBMS and DS. Although I could not make it to the H.R round,but those who made it said it lasted for about 15 minutes and it was a good experience.

      All the questions were fairly easy as it was an on-campus hiring process,the cutoff was high though.

      I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      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.

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
