Microsoft Interview Prep with Questions and Answers

Similar to the FAANG companies, Microsoft has tough interviews spaced across 3-4 rounds and intensive technical tests. Overall, interviewers look for proficiency in at least one programming language (ideally Python, Java, PHP, C#, C or C++) for any technical positions, analytical and problem-solving skills, communication skills, leadership, and culture fit (everyone). The rounds requiring coding are the most important at Microsoft. System design questions can be considered the second most important questions at Microsoft.  Microsoft interviewers usually choose the questions they want so repeated questions are few so use the below interview questions to practice while honing your framework or approach to answering.

Regardless of whether you are applying for a tech position or a non-technical one, communication skills are a key component of the interviews. You will be evaluated on your ability to effectively cross-communicate and coordinate with different teams. Along with this, the interviewers want to see a demonstration of you as a thoughtful and capable leader, especially when tackling challenges and problems. This is the best opportunity to show how you take the initiative in leading and clearly communicating when giving your answers. As analytical and logical thinking are highly valued

Microsoft’s interviewing process is team-dependent - teams decide the questions to ask and how the interview will be conducted. Microsoft is one of the companies that allows you to interview with more than one team at the same time. So, if you are interested in multiple roles at the company, go ahead and interview with different teams simultaneously to increase your chances of getting hired.
