I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
So i had an on campus interview with Microsoft and they start the interview by telling us to write the code on white board followed by few questions about the code. after that there were few behavioral and technical questions. I got a reply from them after almost two month that I am selected for final interviews on site but there are no vacancies so to stay in touch but they haven't replied to my emails since then
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Melbourne)
Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
