I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Mar 2017
Interview
Had an on campus interview in March 2017. Interview was 30 minutes long, consisted of about 10 minutes of behavioral questions/reviewing resume and about 15 minutes on one coding question. Took them almost 3 months to get back to me even after multiple requests on a status update from me.

Question 1
Coding question was essentially to code a function to determine if a particular move had won the game of tic tac toe
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.

The hiring process consists of a HackerRank home exam, followed by three technical interviews covering LeetCode-style problems and system architecture. Once this is done, you will have a final HR interview.

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.
