Flew to Romania for a european graduate interview day. Had 4 technical rounds solving various problems. Had a 'tie breaker' round as the panel was on the fence which resulted in a ridiculous interview:
TLDR:
Interviewer - Have you ever written C?
Me - No
Interviewer - Implement malloc in C.
I didn't pass.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Entretien
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

The interview was hard, even as a fresher the dsa they asked was hard category after I checked on leetcode. Though I couldn't solve it. Some of the other people who interviewed were asked easy - medium dsa
