Hereโs my Microsoft Interview Experience (as a fresher) โ
I applied for Microsoft Engage for full-time roles, and once my resume was shortlisted, I had to give an online test which had 2 medium-hard level DSA problems. The time allotted for this round was 1 hour 30 minutes.
I could clear that round and was shortlisted for 28 day Microsoft Engage Mentorship project where I had to work on and end to end project to solve a specific problem, which was the theme for that year.
The initial phase of this project was proposing an idea to mentor, then coding and deploying, and submitting a demo.
I was selected for the next round, which was 3 technical interview rounds, of 90 mins each.
The pattern of all 3 technical rounds was quite similar. Each one involved 2 DSA problems, some questions from CS core subjects, and some discussion on projects.
DSA problems were based on Graphs, Linked Lists, Hashmaps, Trees, Strings, etc.
For every DSA problem, I first discussed my approach first with the interviewers and then with time and space complexities. When they agreed upon these, I coded my solutions.
After these rounds, I received the offer by email.
My consistent preparation and active participation in competitions helped me prepare for the interview rounds.
This has also helped me clear multiple product-based companies.
All the best if you are preparing. I've come across many who are struggling to prepare for these technical rounds on their own. Because theyโre not able to structure their prep, and neither they have any guidance.
