I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Ciudad de Mexico) in Oct 2014
Interview
First the recluters came to the campus and in a conference they asked for a problem where you had to convert an integer to a string with the next format, for example 50 to $50.00.
Then on the carrer fair they made me write a code to check if a string is a palindrome. After that they called me to another interview where I had to find the bigges palindrome inside a string and also showed me a pseudocode to get the factorial and I had to find all the mistakes. On the final round of interviews they asked me to find tle angle between the hands of a clock, to find all the odd numbers between 0 to 100 using bit manipulation, print a range of numbers from the fibonacci sequence and again the to check if a string is a palindrome but ignoring special caracters and case sesitive.

Question 1
They asked me to write all the odd numbers from 0 to 100 but with bit manipulation.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru)
Interview
OA was taken, it was easy-medium consisting of a string problem and a DP problem. Technical Interview 1 was taken where they asked tree traversals using iteration and construction of trees using traversal
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Space Complexity of Traversal, also explain Morris Traversal
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was a really enjoyable experience overall. Although I didn’t get the position, the interview itself was great, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the role, the team, and the company.
