I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jul 2024
Interview
I had 2 interview rounds
1st -> I was asked Spiral Matrix
I solved successful and interviewer was satisfied and happy.
2nd -> First I was asked to arrange array elements in alternating order
Eg. 1 2 3 4 5 -> 1 5 2 4 3
Them I was asked LFU which I was not able to implement perfectly.
So I didn't got selected.
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.
