I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād)
Interview
It was a drive - approximately 40 people were called in on a Saturday. Mine was a 12PM slot. Had 4 rounds of interview.
After 1st round, some of them were asked to leave. The same happened even after 2nd round. There were outstation candidates too. Their interviews were scheduled little earlier as they had flights to catch.
It was 9:30PM by the time I finished my 3rd round. So I was called in on Monday for my Hiring Manager round. After my round, I went to meet the HR and I was made the offer.
The letter was rolled out within the next 10days. Overall 6 of us were selected and the hiring process was very friendly.

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.

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.
