I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Herzliya) in May 2021
Interview
I was amazed how fast Microsoft have managed to run my hiring process. I have already had another offer from a high value company, before signing there I thought to check my luck with Microsoft.
Knowing that, HR called me day after I have submitted my CV, she scheduled a back to back 3 interviews in 4 hours for the following day.
The interviews were well organized, I felt very welcome (using Teams- remote interviews with team leaders from Redmond USA).
First interview, getting to know me, talk about some technologies I worked with and my thoughts about each and my experience.
Second interview, I presented some work I did in the past in the first part and on the second part was asked to design a system in high level (networking, security, proxy, vpn, on-prem and cloud).
Third interview coding question, solve an algorithm question in the subject of stacks and queues- felt easy on first read but luckily found a catch in the middle (ended up to be harder then I thought, but still managed to solve it).
I got a call the next day letting me know we are moving to an offer.
Got the offer letter the same day, salary and benefits were way above my demand.
I was given a week to decide.
