I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderabad) in Sep 2021
Interview
This was an on-campus recruitment process. There was an online coding round on codility with 2 coding questions. On clearing this, there were 3 interview rounds, all coding based (DSA and OS), which took place on Microsoft Teams. The coding questions asked in the interviews were all standard leetcode questions (1 medium, 2 hard).

Question 1
Interview 3:
Explain what happens when a new process is created in the operating system.
General questions based on projects in resume.
I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.

Question 1

The hiring process consists of a HackerRank home exam, followed by three technical interviews covering LeetCode-style problems and system architecture. Once this is done, you will have a final HR interview.

Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Haifa) in Jun 2026
Interview
The process started with an online HackerRank assessment. The main coding question involved partitioning an array of server capacities into K contiguous groups while minimizing the maximum group sum. The solution required binary search on the answer combined with a greedy validation function. The assessment focused on algorithms, problem solving, and time complexity analysis.

Question 1
Given an array representing server capacities and an integer K, divide the array into K contiguous groups such that the largest group sum is minimized. Return the minimum possible value of the maximum group sum.
