I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Nov 2021
Interview
After sending you information, after a couple of days you'll get Codility online test link, where you'll have to solve 4 problems within 3 hours. Usually, you don't have to solve all of them to go through. If you pass, you will then schedule three 45-50 min interview in a row, where you'll be again asked three different algorithmic problems, as well as going through you CV and talking about your preferences, experience, projects etc. Final offer should come within 2 to 3 weeks.

Question 1
In an array with multiple maximum values, return one index of the max value, where every correct index has an uniform probability of being chosen.
I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.

Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Haifa) in Jun 2026
Interview
The process started with an online HackerRank assessment. The main coding question involved partitioning an array of server capacities into K contiguous groups while minimizing the maximum group sum. The solution required binary search on the answer combined with a greedy validation function. The assessment focused on algorithms, problem solving, and time complexity analysis.

Question 1
Given an array representing server capacities and an integer K, divide the array into K contiguous groups such that the largest group sum is minimized. Return the minimum possible value of the maximum group sum.
