Microsoft Data Scientist Interview Preparation Guide - Entry Level 2025

Microsoft's Data Scientist interview process for entry-level candidates consists of a structured Virtual Loop with multiple assessment rounds designed to evaluate technical proficiency, problem-solving abilities, machine learning knowledge, and cultural alignment. The process begins with a recruiter screening call, followed by two technical assessments (SQL and Python), then progresses through product case analysis, machine learning case studies, and behavioral interviews. All rounds are conducted virtually and typically span 2-3 weeks from initial contact to offer decision.[1][3]
