      Software Engineer New Grad Interview

      25 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sept 2025

      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Got a referral end of October and got email inviting me to an on campus interview at my university about a month later. On campus interview pretty easy question. About 3-4 hours after my 8am on campus interview, got an email inviting me to the Superday. Superday was on Thursday and consisted of 4 back to back interviews with members of the same team. My interviewers were 3 engineers and 1 manager. All questions leetcode easy/medium. Google and FB phone screens were more difficult than the Microsoft onsite. Unlike Google, amazon, & fb, you are directly compared to the other 7 people the team you’re interviewing with also interviews that day. Team is probably hiring 1-2 new grads so if someone answers a question slightly better or is more likable as a person you probably won’t get it. I personally thought I did really well, one of the best final round interviews I’ve ever given. I answered every question correctly with time left. However, another candidates may have been more charismatic or something. Got a generic email rejection the following Monday and they provided no feedback. Process was super organized and they gave us a stipend for lunch in the cafeteria after interviews ended
