I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tokyo) in Jul 2016
Interview
About half a month after the online application, I got email from the university recruiting team. I was scheduled three rounds of interviews on the same day. The interview questions were not very hard, two of them are about data structure and one is about HTTP. After the interview, I got the offer on after a couple of days through phone call. The entire process was smooth and interviewers are very kind and friendly.

Question 1
Write a function to handle HTTP response. And, write some test case to test your function.

Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
