How to crack Microsoft interview?

| Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Welcoming Kavya Sukumar, a developer at Microsoft who would like to share some insights on the interview process and how to crack it!

Hello Kavya, thank you for accepting the invite! Our readers would like to know a little bit about yourself, so..

Yup, sure! I currently work as an Software Development Engineer in Test in Microsoft Corp., Redmond. I joined Microsoft’s India Development Center after graduating in Computer Science and Engineering. After a year in IDC, I moved here to Redmond.

What’s the interview process in top MNC’s like Microsoft?

In Microsoft, there is no fixed interview process or format. It changes with product groups or teams. The most commonly followed interview process consists of four to five rounds each focusing on analytical, problem solving, designing, coding and testing skills of the candidate.
It starts with a screening round, which may be written, telephonic or in person.

In Microsoft, there are three engineering profiles- development, test and program management. Apart from screening candidates, the initial round also decides the profile best suited for you. Once you clear the screening, you proceed to the next round, which is called a ‘loop’. A loop usually consists of three to four people who interview you separately.

Thanks Kavya! That was indeed a detailed explanation. Now, how does a candidate prepare himself for the interview?
