I interviewed at Microsoft (Cairo, Cairo Governorate)
Interview
3 interviews, each one you are given 1 problem to solve
Problems were leetcode easy and mid difficulty
There was a system design part in my second interview but it was so basic as I was applying for a entry level position
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Problem related to stack
Implement hash-map data structure
Problem on binary search tree
System design question: design twitter (Very basic discussion about how our database schema would look like e,g tables and relations between them. Then we did a very basic high level design of the system)
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.
