Colloquio
Applying for a role at Microsoft was both an exciting and nerve-wracking journey.
Application Timeline
Oct 30: Submitted my application through the portal without a referral.
Nov 1: Received a technical assessment on Codility.
Nov 19: Got an email to schedule the virtual full-loop interview, set for Dec 3. This gave me about 15 days to prepare.
Nov 27: Received the final interview schedule and details about the interviewers.
Nov 28: Thanksgiving Break, which I missed to focus entirely on preparation and it was all worth it.
Dec 3: Interview Day.
The Interview Process
The virtual full-loop interview lasted from 10:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., consisting of four 45-minute rounds with sufficient breaks in between:
Round 1: A technical round consisting of a medium-level Leetcode string problem and a logic puzzle about ropes (though this wasn’t directly part of the interview).
Round 2: A cultural fit round with questions about working style preferences and behavioral scenarios.
Round 3: A technical round focused on system design, followed by a medium-level Leetcode array question.
Round 4: A discussion with the hiring manager, centered on my resume and behavioral aspects. This was a conversational and engaging round that left me feeling optimistic.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Colloquio
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
