I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
There was a phone interview which consisted of mainly behavioural questions with a couple small technical questions. In person, three problem-solving questions with three different interviewers, each one also asking about behavioural/past-project experience on your resume. Interviewers were very friendly and gave helpful hints if you get stuck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Linked list navigation, algorithm complexity, and questions where solutions involved intelligent use of data structures. Each question may have a simple but inefficient trivial solution, but try to find the more efficient solution.
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.

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.
