I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Providence, RI) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was invited to an on-campus 30 minute interview. I was asked to write an algorithm to solve a problem (don't remember anymore) using pen and paper. Afterwords, I was given an opportunity to ask any questions I had. About a week later, I was sent an email that I had passed the first interview rounds, and was invited to the final rounds BUT that however, they had no interview opportunities currently available. ??? that was that.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Microsoft
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.
