I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
1. HR phone call
Then I had 3 interviews, including coding, system design and some behavioral questions
HR called to say that I've passed and scheduled a AA interview with a manager.
THAT WAS THE WORST INTERVIEW EVER!
The interviewer behaved very unprofessionally – he even had his feet on the chair or on the sofa, the manner was extremely disrespectful.
He asked me to implement a timer without using a built-in timer, which was a strange and confusing question, especially after I had already passed the LeetCode-style and System Design parts of the interview.
The level of the question was unusual; he expected me to figure out that I could use a now() function across different departments to implement the timer. It was something I had never encountered before.
Overall, it was a very unusual and uncomfortable interview experience.
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.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview was hard, even as a fresher the dsa they asked was hard category after I checked on leetcode. Though I couldn't solve it. Some of the other people who interviewed were asked easy - medium dsa
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
