I just had a very tough interview, and I tried my best. Most of the discussion was heavily focused on system design concepts, challenging my ability to think critically, structure solutions, and explain trade-offs under pressure.
Smooth and good process of interviewing a candidate. DSA is a strong foundation for such interviews where they always check your way of thinking with the approach. System design is an interesting part as well.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Durgapur, West Bengal) in Jul 2025
