I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
They interviewd by phone, and then called me to their offices. There was one interviewer who greated me at the front desk, and took me upstairs for the interview. He told me abour the positon, asked me to tell about myself, and moved on to the technical part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They mainly asked me about the shortest path in a matrix that has "holes"(i.e, unallowed locations), and how to implement in whatever language I wanted, and asked questions around the implementation.
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.
