      techinical interview. Leetcode style question on DSA. The question had to do with checking the number of palindromic substrings in a word. The intreviewer was polite and professional. I had 30 minutes.
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Fairly straightforward medium leetcode questions followed by a system design interview. There was also a behavioral interview where they asked about previous experience, but it didn't seem like that part was emphasized a lot since it was pretty unstructured.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Interviews were smooth, didn't get an offer. Probably wasn't prepared enough. Technical portion was hard. I will reapply again after some more preparation. Everyone was very friendly, seems like a great culture.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a 2D binary matrix filled with 0’s and 1’s, find the largest rectangle containing all ones and return its area.
