I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
The process took around a month. I was referenced by a friend and had a screening interview on campus. It was straightforward. I next got invited to a on-site interview. I was interviewed by four interviewers there. all questions were straightforward. Linked lists and string manipulation. Although I thought that the interview went well, as I have answered all questions correctly and also had very nice conversations with the interviewers. I did not get an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
numbers represented as linked lists. write afunction that takes 2 numbers as ll and returns the sum of them, as a linked list. e.g function(1->2->3, 4->5) => 1->6->8
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.
