Microsoft Interview Experiences
Principal Developer
Questions focused on the ability to build high-performance and scalable application designs. Heavy emphasis on writing lower-level algorithms in C# (e.g., data structures).
SWE Intern
Had 3 interviews focused on LeetCode-style problems. The questions were quite easy; one was about dynamic programming, and some other questions were about linked lists. They were Easy/Medium difficulty. Each interview was around 45 minutes long.
Software Engineer
I got the invitation link, completed and passed every test case successfully, but surprisingly received a rejection the following week without any clear explanation, even though my performance met all expectations.
