      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      I got the interview via a referral from a friend. I had 2 phone interviews, and 2 on-site interviews on separate days. The first phone interview was with HR. Then I had another technical phone interview, where we mostly talked about my resume and I was asked some basic computer science knowledge + my projects. Then I had an onsite technical interview that was about 1.5 hours long, started with some leetcode style questions for warmup, followed by a big question where I was asked to design a kind of dictionary/spell checking system. After the questions we just talked about the possible teams I might join and played some Xbox to see some of the features that were created by the interviewer's team. after about 1-2 weeks I was invited to another interview. In this interview, I was stressed and messed up, but this was a longer interview about 2.5 hours, where most of the time was dedicated to designing some caching solutions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      binary search tree, reverese a BST and some more simple leetcode style questions. a dictionary/spell-checking system design. a cache system design that becomes more complex, during the interview. starting with a basic LRU like scheme up to TTL and frequency approximations.

      3 interviews. Only 1 leetcodes (easy-medium) in the second interview. Lots of personal questions, leadership and design patterns. They were really nice, but at the end they ended up with someone that had more experience then me.
