I went through an online assessment, then technical phone screens, and finally several onsite interviews. These focused heavily on coding, algorithms, system design, and problem-solving, while also assessing communication skills, collaboration, and cultural fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to solve a coding problem involving data structures and algorithms, and then explain my thought process, trade-offs, and how I’d optimize the solution.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Melbourne)

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
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
