How to Crack the Microsoft Interview?

   How to Crack the Microsoft Interview?


 Dear Friends, I am a former employee of Microsoft and want to help youngsters and interested people, who are willing to join Microsoft India. When I was trying to join Microsoft that timed I struggled a lot and did not get any correct path and advice. I'll try to simplify things for you... 😊

You need to understand the Microsoft culture before doing anything.

  • Satya Nadella popularized the growth mindset in Microsoft workplace culture when he became CEO in 2014. He had repeatedly credited Dweck's "Mindset" as inspiration for Microsoft's culture change. Now the idea of a growth mindset has embedded itself in Microsoft's rhetoric.
  • A growth mindset emphasizes the way you relate your sense of self to a challenge. For example, if you apply a growth mindset when presented with a difficult problem, you don't see the problem and start thinking that you're failing because you don't immediately get it ("I'm not smart enough"). Instead, you start thinking that you're learning and I love a challenge.

How to do your preparations?

  • Learn Data Structure and Algorithms (Best site to visit geek for geeks)
  • Develop Software Architecture and Desing Skills 
  • You should be proficient in at least one programming languageC#, C/C++, Powershell, Javascript, Python, TCL
  • Expert in OOPs and Solid Principles
  • Understanding in Client Service Architecture
  • Mindset for willing to work in any situations(means nothing is impossible)

Interview Process:

Microsoft has three business division IDC, MSIT, Microsoft Consulting Services(MCS)/MSGD(Global Delivery)
The interview process may differ by business division, here will explain about the IDC/MSIT process

Interview Round can be varied for the position and Teams but generally, it goes up to Six Rounds. Here I am giving an example for the Software Engineers positions.

First Round: 

Pure technical round with Problem-solving interview questions, may you be asked to design a solution for a given problem. for example, Design unified custom caching functionality.

Second Round: 

round with Problem-solving interview questions, may you be asked to design a solution for a given problem. for example, present uber app architecture

Third Round: 

Technical questions and write an algorithm(sorting and string etc), may you be given in critical situations and you had/have to design a solution. for example "Find the square root of number up to given precision using binary search"

Fourth Round: 

Some technical questions, Some Managerial questions, About your Past work Experience and learnings

Fifth Round:

Generally Happens with Principle Managers/Business Head
They will tell you about their business group and opportunity, There could be few technical questions, They will check your confidence and what you are expecting from ongoing opportunity.

Sixth Round:

Salary discussions from HR

generally, Microsoft has its own pay standards so you will get beyond your expectations with a lot of perk and facilities with amazing Campus

Points to keep in mind while interviewing:


  • Make sure nothing is false in your resume
  • Whatever you have written in your resume, be prepared to answer it
  • If unfortunately you told something false to the interviewer so keep in mind may the next round interview can cross-verify it.

Where to Apply? 

Go ahead and visit the MS career website and apply it, here is a link for you.


All the best...please provide your comments if you feel that helped you!!!
