Two rounds of interview, both technical, in both rounds I was asked about my projects and very deep insights related to those, also the questions were very practical based ml questions, i was asked to do live coding also in both the rounds
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Mar 2026
Interview
3 interviews. One ML breadth mostly focused on Transformers. What are hallucinations, and how to avoid them, what is catastrophic forgetting, and similar questions. Another manager round with some HR questions, like sharing past learning experiences, was also asked about an open-ended ML system design for next-word prediction in an app. Third was the coding round, where they asked me to find an accurate threshold for classifying using a really bad classifier. The answer should be the F1 score, and I was supposed to code it up live.

I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade, Central Serbia)
Interview
For now I only had the screening part of the interview process. It was very chill, he asked me general questions about me and my experience. High level tech questions regarding my experience.
