I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Ciudad de Mexico) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview was in a desk, I was on one side, the interviewer on the other side. They asked me questions to confirm the information they had, like graduation date, etc. Then questions about my projects, which did I liked the most and why. Then the programming question, it was a single one, in paper. When time was over
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a linked list with numbers 4->4->5->5->5->5->-1->-1 return a list in the same order but with how many values of each one are in the list. For example, the output list for the example is: (4,2)->(5,4)->(-1,2)
It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Dec 2024
Interview
I was invited to a technical interview with Microsoft. The interviewer started with a general question: “What happens when you type google.com into your browser?” They asked a few follow-up questions related to that.
After that, they gave me a LeetCode algorithmic question, which was at a hard level. The problem was “Integer to English Words.”

2. “Integer to English Words” – LeetCode algorithmic question
Three tech interviews + one hiring manager VO, most of questions are medium to hard leetcode questions. Ask some questions about techniques you written on the resume. But I think they care more about the match of the research and the job.
