Microsoft Software Engineer interview experience

SeniorPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a Microsoft interview that was scheduled as an event, and the format was two rounds on the day itself.

Both rounds felt like they went decently overall, and the interviewers kept things moving without making it feel chaotic. I walked out with a normal amount of uncertainty—nothing felt disastrous, but I didn’t have a clear “this is definitely it” moment either.

The most noticeable part was what happened after: I was left awaiting updates on the outcome. There wasn’t immediate closure, and I spent time wondering what the next step would even be, especially because they had called it an event hiring flow.

I didn’t end up with an offer in my notes. My honest reflection was that the day itself
