The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

I had an easy interview at Microsoft; the panel was nice, asked straightforward problem-solving and coding questions, and they cared more about communication, clarity, and the way I approached problems rather than hard algorithms or tricky puzzles.Candidate-reported process
First I was contacted by a recruiter. They gave me three possible timeslots for the interview. I had separate interviews with senior employees in different roles on the team. Each interview was 45 minutes long. The focus was on culture fit and behavioural questions.Candidate-reported process
First i got an OA test link where medium-hard dsa questions were asked. after that a telephonic round happened. i couldn’t clear it but it was a great experience and i got to learn a lot.Candidate-reported process
