J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Virgin, UT) en oct. 2025
Entretien
Phone screen with employee with very basic statistics and machine learning questions where they asked for my thought process during it. No coding involved and was only verbal didn't ask to share screen
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given that we have a machine learning model that performs well locally but when deployed to users doesn't what could possible be the cause of this
Two rounds of interview, both technical, in both rounds I was asked about my projects and very deep insights related to those, also the questions were very practical based ml questions, i was asked to do live coding also in both the rounds
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en mars 2026
Entretien
3 interviews. One ML breadth mostly focused on Transformers. What are hallucinations, and how to avoid them, what is catastrophic forgetting, and similar questions. Another manager round with some HR questions, like sharing past learning experiences, was also asked about an open-ended ML system design for next-word prediction in an app. Third was the coding round, where they asked me to find an accurate threshold for classifying using a really bad classifier. The answer should be the F1 score, and I was supposed to code it up live.

For now I only had the screening part of the interview process. It was very chill, he asked me general questions about me and my experience. High level tech questions regarding my experience.
