I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2014
Interview
The interview started with some behavioral questions, and continued with the technical problems, including a testing and an object-oriented design problem. The algorithmic question involved some simple DFS traversal in a graph, written in the language of your choice.
1. Testing question: Test a keyboard.
2. Object-oriented design question: Design an alarm clock.
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.
