I applied from my university for an internship in my second year of study. The recruitment process had two rounds. First was a coding round which had two questions and one hour to solve. The second was an interview with one of the engineers at Microsoft. Both the rounds were easy if you know the basic data structures like heap tree array etc.

The hiring process started with an online assessment that focused on problem-solving and coding skills. After passing the assessment, I was invited to a series of 3 back-to-back technical interviews. Each interview was primarily centered around data structures and algorithms, with questions similar in style and difficulty to LeetCode problems. Interviewers also evaluated problem-solving approach, code quality, and the ability to explain thought processes clearly while coding. Overall, the process was structured, technical, and heavily focused on algorithmic problem solving and communication skills.
