I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Sep 2023
Interview
it was a home test using Codility. I got an email from the Microsoft recruiting team that has a link to the Codility website. On the website, I could see the rules for the following test that included 2 questions (I remember only one)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how many times can you write the word "banana" using the following string? (can't repeat letters)
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.
