I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv) in May 2019
Interview
There was a test house with about 7 questions, some were code questions mainly about the realization of data structures like map, list, vector etc. Some were finding errors in the code and changing them, there was a question that needed to change the code because there was not enough memory to keep it as it was . Then there's a day of sorting, starting with the two-and-a-half-hour test detailed below, it's not related to the house test that was. Anyone who passes a techniq personal interview with a recruiter, I did not go through the first part so I do not know what these questions were. Anyone who passes this part is also interviewed by the HR and then if they pass then it is possible to get a contract the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement a logger in several steps ie Step 1 that will get a String, step 2 that will keep a the date, step 3 that can be searched by a particular cricket and so on, not remembering all the steps.
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) 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.
