I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Sep 2019
Interview
The first round was an online round having 3 competitive coding type questions. The next round was an on-paper algorithmic problem-solving round. This was followed by 2 in-person technical interviews and an HR round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were based on trees, linked-lists, hashing, and DP
Walking into the technical round, I had an unexpected moment of déjà vu when I was asked to find the lowest common ancestor in a binary tree. It was just like the question I had practiced on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview also included designing an LRU cache and reversing a linked list, which I felt comfortable with too. Overall, the process was smooth, starting with a recruiter screen and a couple of phone interviews. I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline.
