I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Oct 2020
Interview
applied through the website. they returned to me after about 2 months and scheduled a video interview with a recruiter from England (not where I live). the interview was 30 minutes and included very dull questions, nothing specific to me or my resume. the interviewer was very nice, but no one updated me after until 3 weeks later when i decided to ask them, then i was told i'm rejected.

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-Yafo) 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.
