I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Sept 2017
Interview
As a new grad, I was asked for a hard question. I use DFS to solve it and write my thoughts on the paper. The interviewer was nice and he let me to answer him how to pass the parameters of the function as well as the condition of the end of the recursion. I show a little bit not confident when I answer the question but after all the answer is right, so I am still in the waiting list.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find given words in the matrix.
For example,
the matrix =
[
[a s d]
[f g h]
[j f v]
]
and the words=['agfj','ah','vgj']
your aim is to find which words are appeared in the matrix.
so words 'agfj' and 'vgj' is in the matrix.
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.
