I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Providence, RI) in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied on campus career fair. The interviewer first asked about my resume and then comes a coding problem. I expressed my ideas and wrote code on the whiteboard. The problem was not too hard. I first of all did not think of a good way to solve it then the interviewer gave me a hint.

Application
I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
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 Jun 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.
