Microsoft Internship, Software Developer interview questions

I had a terrible experience with the interview process at Microsoft 12/11/24. I was scheduled for three interviews, each lasting 75 minutes. The interviews themselves consisted mostly of easy to medium difficulty LeetCode questions and some soft skills questions. I felt confident throughout, answering the questions quickly and efficiently. The HR promised to get back to me within 3 days, but I ended up waiting 7 days with no update. When the HR finally called, rather than informing me whether I was accepted or not, she spent the entire conversation asking me about the interview process and other irrelevant questions. It felt like a complete waste of time. When I asked about my results, she finally told me I wasn’t accepted. She mentioned that my technical skills and soft skills were perfect, but they had chosen another candidate. If I was such a strong candidate, I don’t understand why I wasn’t selected. The whole process felt unprofessional, especially with the lack of communication and vague reasoning for the rejection. I expected much more from a company like Microsoft. Definitely a disappointing experience overall.

Leet code style questions and OOP questions. Also covered resume and scaling questions about content. Light system design questions and overall behavioral. Nice interviewers with positive attitude. Also relate things back to company culture.
