Microsoft AI Engineer (Entry Level) - Comprehensive Interview Preparation Guide

Microsoft's AI Engineer interview process for entry-level candidates follows a structured pipeline: initial recruiter screening to assess background and cultural fit, followed by a 60-minute online technical assessment covering coding and ML fundamentals. Successful candidates proceed to an onsite interview loop consisting of five rounds focusing on data structures and algorithms, machine learning theory, deep learning and neural networks, generative AI/NLP and system design, and finally a behavioral round. The entire process typically spans 4-6 weeks from initial application to offer.
