Entrevista
I was invited to a one on one interview with a Microsoft engineer. The interview started with the interviewer asking about my projects. He asked about what I enjoyed most about the project that I had, and also asked about how I was able to solve the problems that I came across while working on the projects. I was questioned about some computer science concepts, and then I had to participate in a 30-minute coding challenge. With regards to difficulty, I would rate the challenge about average, as it was a standard problem that a seasoned programmer would usually come across. In short, it was a very direct and fast paced interview.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
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.

Entrevista
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.
