I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Nuova Delhi) in Aug 2019
Interview
They are heavy on asking Data Structures and Algorithms Questions so make sure to brush up on that. Have some good projects on your CV. Online test followed by a Group Fly test, which is again followed by 2 technical interview rounds and 1 HR round
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Melbourne)
Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
