I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (College Station, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
Interviewer was over 20 minutes late to interview and seemed to be pushing me to finish the interview quickly. I assume this was because he didn't want to delay his lunch or had already filled his internship slots. In general interviewer was not attentive and gave me a bad taste in my mouth for Microsoft's work environment. Question was easy but I fumbled it.

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.
