I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Start off with basic HR screening. Then online test with 5 simple to borderline medium coding questions in 1 hour. Once you clear that you get called for an on site round. Onsite had 4 (3 coding + 1 design and coding) interviews 45 minutes each with a 10-15 minute break between each interview.
Most of the interviewers were very nice. The recruiters are very nice and really want you to succeed.
Heard back next day about the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding, basic data structures and thought process.
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.
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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
