I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Israel) in Sep 2025
Interview
I got an e-mail with a link to a home assignement i had to do within a week. It was a home assignement with 2 coding questions one basic and one a bit harder. It was 65 minutes for both questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an integer array arr of length n, and three integers x, y, and z.
You may select non-overlapping subarrays from arr.
Each chosen subarray must be of length 1, length 2, or length 3.
You can choose at most x subarrays of length 1.
You can choose at most y subarrays of length 2.
You can choose at most z subarrays of length 3.
Your goal is to maximize the total sum of all elements in the selected subarrays.
Return the maximum possible sum you can obtain under these constraints.
Input: arr (list of integers), x, y, z (non-negative integers)
Output: An integer representing the maximum total sum.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
