I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Mar 2011
Interview
I was first contacted by email, and then was scheduled for a phone interview with someone in Human Resources. I was asked several behavioral questions, and then had to solve two open-ended problems. Somehow I got the impression that this was a "fake" interview- that is, it seemed like they just had to fill a quota for the number of interviews they conducted, while they already had hired someone for the position. I heard back the next day with a form email rejection.
I applied through college or 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.

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.
