I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Aug 2024
Interview
The Microsoft interview process typically involves a single day with three back-to-back technical interviews. Each session includes one or two coding or algorithmic questions, focusing on problem-solving, data structures, and system design. Interviewers assess communication, coding clarity, and analytical thinking. Results are usually communicated the next day.
I got a HackerRank home assignment with 2 leetcode questions, one was easy the other was medium-hard. It was a sliding windows, and a buy n products with the minimum coins at start. There were 2 arrays, one of the WC cost of the products and one with the expected cost.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Feb 2026
Interview
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.
It’s one day with two interviews, and if you move on, you’ll have another two. One focuses on designing a tic-tac-toe (X/O) game, and the other is a LeetCode-style coding question.
