I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The interview consisted of 2 back to back interviews via teams video call, each lasting 45 mins and half of that time spent on behavioral questions while the other half was spent on a programming problem. So, a total of 2 technical questions were asked. The interviewers I had were kind and got straight to the point. No time felt wasted.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Technical Q1: You're given a list of 4 problems which are variations of existing leetcode easy/medium problems and you can choose 1 of them to solve. The interviewer may ask you why you chose that problem in particular and can potentially decide to do another problem.
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
