I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Dec 2021
Interview
Interview started from the basics of neural nets and became more focused on project specific and background specific topics (My background is NLP). Differences between L1 and L2 regression, etc were asked.
It was good, some algorithms questions about graphs traversal. The interview was good but I was unprepared, otherwise, with minimal preparation you could pass 2 to 3 first interviews, and interviewer was nice and accomodating.
Standard machine learning questions. They wanted to make sure I really understood the topics. All questions were fair and good questions. They asked me to describe a research paper and walk through it.
