I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interviewers were all nice and made me comfortable throughout the process. However, it was not revealed to me what will be the interviews about: System Design, coding, behavioral, LLD etc. Along with coding, and behavioral, there was an AI coding round, where the evaluation criteria was uncertain but I'd assume it focused on completion of feature and correctness of AI output.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coding question was based on tree. In the later discussion, the entire resume was covered. Mainly focused on the decision making about system design choices in the past experience.
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.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
