I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Haïfa) in Dec 2022
Interview
The interviewer wasn't nice, every second I stopped to think about the solution he would give another hint up until the point he answered the question by himself without giving me the opportunity to even think.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a matrix which has each line sorted, count the amount of positive numbers in the matrix.
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.
