I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Salt Lake City, UT) in Aug 2016
Interview
Very short, simple first-round process. The questions were very technical, with only a few behavioral questions. The interviewer was a software engineer himself, so the questions were definitely designed to test the ability of the candidate to understand and communicate complicated programming questions. As this was a university process, it gave the opportunity for the candidate to ask questions demonstrating a desire to learn more and understand the question better.

Question 1
Write a function to determine if a number is prime or not
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.
