I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Aug 2016
Interview
Apparently a system error caused all on campus interview results from my school to be lost. Then Microsoft just ghosted everyone and moved on. Recruiter won't even answer emails to tell us what happened we had to find out ourselves. If Microsoft is going to act like this, they are not welcome back at our school.
Started with a 30 min informational interview. The next round was a technical interview for 6o minutes. Most problems were no more difficult then leet code medium. Then it moved into a full super day.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jan 2023
Interview
Four rounds - mic of technical and behavioral. Leetcode questions were asked and system design questions were asked in technical rounds. For behavioral, it was mostly straightforward situation based questions. The ability to convey your thoughts was also assessed.
Started with introductory questions, then moved on to discuss projects and tech stack. Then a DSA question was given and I was asked to code it in my local editor, complete with the main function.
