I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Herzliyya B) in Nov 2017
Interview
2 interviews - one at a time. the first one was kind of easy - half an hour of a personal conv and an hour (a bit more) of two questions - one was very trivial (something with an array) and the other was a more complex - dynamic programming. The second interview was more theoretic - data structures, search algorithms and coding of course.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Array question, something with sums
Dynamic programming - using an array to store results

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
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.
