What to Expect in the Microsoft SWE Interview Loop

The Microsoft SWE interview loop is very structured. Each interview follows an almost-rigid format to assess you across very specific technical and leadership skills. Here's the process:

  1. 1. Recruiter Screen

    Initial conversation to discuss technical background and Microsoft values.

  2. 2. Technical Screen

    Coding and algorithms assessment (often Codility or similar).

  3. 3. Onsite Loop

    4-5 rounds focusing on coding, system design, and behavioral/cultural fit.

    • Technical

    • General Cognitive Ability

Thank you so much for the session! I really appreciated how structured and realistic the interview was. Your feedback was super actionable and I feel more confident about my approach now. Had a great mock interview session. The coach was very structured, asked realistic questions, and gave actionable feedback on both problem solving and communication. I left the session with clear areas to improve and a better interview strategy. Highly recommend!

The interaction with the coach was really good. My coach was a industry experienced interviewer and asked the question that was a common question in interview circuit, so it was good to discuss that question. Coach knew about the edge cases and asked question to lead the discussion that really made me think about the solution. Also, kept the discussion at a good pace, wherever I felt I was stuck, guided with either hint, or right question, or solution that might work. Additionally also thought Prepfully has made things particularly smooth from several angles - Ease of booking - Decent pricing as compared to other solutions in the market - Very clear communication and messaging in terms of scheduling
