I had only one interview, however it was an on-site interview. I was asked to implement a couple of existing methods from standard libraries. I had the choice of using either C#, Java, C, or C++ (and possibly Python). The methods were from the primitive wrappers classes, with the exception of String class.

Question 1

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2026

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.
