Interview Process
The interview process for the Microsoft Software Engineer role was structured into several stages. Initially, I had a video interview scheduled, where I was asked a mix of technical and behavioral questions.
The technical part focused on fundamental data structures and algorithms. I worked through a couple of problems live on the coding platform while discussing my thought process.
For the behavioral segment, questions revolved around teamwork, past experiences, and Microsoft’s core values, aiming to assess how I would fit into their culture and handle challenges in a collaborative environment.
Overall, the interview had a pleasant atmosphere, and the interviewer was very supportive, which helped ease the tension.
