I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Ciudad de Mexico) in Sept 2023
Interview
A recruiter made this process as terrible as possible. I didn't expect such attitude and have never seen such unprofessional behaviour: 1) Lack of communication Normally, our communication looked like this: - I write a mail - They ignore me, I don't get a response - In 3-4 days I write again and only then they answer. Every time I was feeling very uncomfortable, seemed that only I interested in work there. 2) The offer was shameful. It was more than 2 times lower than my current salary. Before process started, I shared my current salary and expectations. Finally I received the very low offer, which is obviously not acceptable. Once I expressed my concern, they asked again about my current salary. So, they were not aware about it, because they just didn't pay attention on numbers that I shared at the very beginning. If they had done this - both sides would have not wasted so much time on the process that doesn't make any sense.

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
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
