I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv) in Nov 2024
Interview
I had a terrible experience with the interview process at Microsoft 12/11/24. I was scheduled for three interviews, each lasting 75 minutes. The interviews themselves consisted mostly of easy to medium difficulty LeetCode questions and some soft skills questions. I felt confident throughout, answering the questions quickly and efficiently.
The HR promised to get back to me within 3 days, but I ended up waiting 7 days with no update. When the HR finally called, rather than informing me whether I was accepted or not, she spent the entire conversation asking me about the interview process and other irrelevant questions. It felt like a complete waste of time.
When I asked about my results, she finally told me I wasn’t accepted. She mentioned that my technical skills and soft skills were perfect, but they had chosen another candidate. If I was such a strong candidate, I don’t understand why I wasn’t selected. The whole process felt unprofessional, especially with the lack of communication and vague reasoning for the rejection.
I expected much more from a company like Microsoft. Definitely a disappointing experience overall.
