I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2025
Interview
OA -> first tech interview -> final (2 tech interviews) . The interview process started with an online assessment testing data structures, algorithms, and debugging skills. After passing, I had one technical interview covering problem-solving and coding. The final round included two back-to-back technical interviews focused on algorithms, system design basics, and behavioral questions. The overall process was structured, thorough, and tested both coding ability and communication.
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
