I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2022
Interview
4-round remote interview. 3 interviews were with members of the team, 1 interview with HR, each lasting around an hour. Technical questions were presented casually, no whiteboarding or formal solutions were necessary, but rather just a cooperative discussion of how the problem could be solved. I felt that the interviews went well, but did not receive any contact from Microsoft afterwards, not even a response to my follow-up email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer presented me with a GUI application and it's C++ implementation files, then asked me to explain how some of the features in the application were working.
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.

Interview
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.
