I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2025
Interview
I went through four rounds of interviews, each lasting about 30 minutes. Each round was conducted by a different interviewer, and the questions varied quite a bit. Some focused on technical and programming challenges, while others were more about problem-solving, system understanding, and general technical knowledge. Overall, each interviewer had their own style, so the experience felt diverse and well-rounded.

The overall experience was really positive. The interview went smoothly, and I appreciated the chance to share my skills and learn more about the team. Unfortunately, I wasn’t selected this time, but I’m glad for the experience—it gave me valuable insight and confidence for future opportunities. Hoping the next one works out even better.
