I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Herzliya)
Interview
1. Online Application & Resume Screening
2. Online Assessment - two LeetCode style questions
3. Onsite Interviews (Technical and Behavioral)- Each round focuses on coding, algorithms, and sometimes system design. Expect whiteboard coding or solving problems in real-time on a collaborative coding platform.
Behavioral Interview: This round assesses how you fit with Microsoft's culture. Questions may revolve around teamwork, leadership experiences, how you handle challenges, and examples of how you’ve worked in teams. Microsoft values its core principles, and this is an opportunity for you to demonstrate how you align with their values.
4. Final Interview and Feedback- with manager
