I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
The interview process begins with an online Codility assessment which includes two leetcode problems - easy/medium. After about a month I had three interview rounds of about 45 minutes each. About 15 minutes are spent for some behavioral questions about me, working in team, projects etc. The rest of the time is for leetcode problems, i would say medium. I got the interview results after a week, but it can take longer
The hiring process started with an online assessment that focused on problem-solving and coding skills.
After passing the assessment, I was invited to a series of 3 back-to-back technical interviews.
Each interview was primarily centered around data structures and algorithms, with questions similar in style and difficulty to LeetCode problems.
Interviewers also evaluated problem-solving approach, code quality, and the ability to explain thought processes clearly while coding.
Overall, the process was structured, technical, and heavily focused on algorithmic problem solving and communication skills.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
Interviewer was intrested in my Open source work for first 25 min where I told him about my GSoC work which was about decompression and asked a simple dsa question about trees. And asked follow ups like print it without storing it in a vector of vector.
2 45 min back to back with leetcode and behavioral questions. Wasn’t too bad just tagged will help and be prepared for resume grill. Review resume fully and should be ok
