      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      The interview process actually was pretty fast The recruiter called to schedule 3 independent interviews 1. technical interview with the team lead 2. Design interview with one of the senior engineers in the team 3. Technical interview with the group manager All the interviews were remote and the interviewers were nice and really tried to make me feel comfortable during the interview. Each interview included some behavior and culture questions also. After i passed those 3 interviews the recruiter scheduled the AA interview Which was purely behavior interview to check if i am a good fit to the company. Few day after the AA interview i got a call to inform that they are working on an offer for me. I heard this interview can include some technical question also.
