Microsoft interview preparation
Coding interview practice for Microsoft-style rounds: linked lists, trees, arrays and design basics.
Mock interviews
The interview process (as widely described)
- Online coding test (common for campus hiring) or a recruiter screen.
- Technical interviews — typically 3–4 rounds of data structures and algorithms, with some object-oriented design for freshers and system design for experienced roles.
- A final round is often with a senior manager ("as-appropriate"), mixing technical depth and behaviour.
What they look for
Correct code, careful handling of edge cases (empty lists, single nodes, overflow), and clear communication. Linked lists, trees and matrix problems are classic practice areas.
