I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview process actually was pretty fast
The recruiter called to schedule 3 independent interviews
1. technical interview with the team lead
2. Design interview with one of the senior engineers in the team
3. Technical interview with the group manager
All the interviews were remote and the interviewers were nice and really tried to make me feel comfortable during the interview.
Each interview included some behavior and culture questions also.
After i passed those 3 interviews the recruiter scheduled the AA interview
Which was purely behavior interview to check if i am a good fit to the company.
Few day after the AA interview i got a call to inform that they are working on an offer for me.
I heard this interview can include some technical question also.

Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
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.
