I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Easy Process. There are 5 stages, online application, situational reasoning, skype, phone screening and then finally the assessment day. The compentancy questions are general in nature and are not too hard to answer, things like why microsoft, what motivates you. The techical questions are some of the common questions given in software interview e.g fizzbuzz.
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.
