I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Chennai) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process was well-structured. The interviewer was friendly and professional. Most rounds focused on Data Structures and Algorithms questions, testing problem-solving and coding ability. An HR interview also took place, discussing communication and behavioral aspects. Each round was around 45 minutes, but there was no strict time pressure, which made the experience smooth and comfortable.
