The interview process at Microsoft usually starts with a quick chat with a recruiter to go over your background and see if you're a good fit, followed by a technical screen (often online) where you solve coding or role-specific problems. If you pass that, you'll move on to a virtual or on-site interview loop with around 4–5 interviews in one day, covering technical skills, problem-solving, and behavioral questions using the STAR method. You’ll also have a final “as-appropriate” interview with a senior leader to assess leadership potential and cultural fit. If all goes well, the team reviews your feedback and, if you're approved, you'll get an offer. The whole thing can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to over a month, depending on the role and scheduling.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (East Godavari)
Interview
The interview process was well-structured and conducted in multiple rounds. I cleared the first two rounds, which included an initial screening and a technical interview focused on problem-solving and basic concepts. One of the questions involved finding the number of ways to form a target sum using 1 and 2 (combinations, not permutations). The interviewers were friendly and encouraged me to explain my approach clearly. The third round was more challenging, and I was not able to clear it. Overall, it was a good learning experience, especially in terms of improving problem-solving and communication skills.
I have completed the telephonic interview tound and It was calm and easy. It lasted for 15 - 20 minutes. They might provide an update regarding the next round very soon.
