I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Received a DM on LinkedIn from a Microsoft recruiter, saying that she was impressed with my profile and asked me to apply to Microsoft's SWE/PM internship. I applied and messaged her back telling her I applied online. Got an on campus interview request 4 days letter.
On campus interview was 15 minutes behavioral followed by 15 minute technical coding question. Got the onsite interview 10 days later, scheduled it 3 weeks from the call day (to give myself time to prep). Went onsite to Redmond, interviewed four rounds for Azure/Windows, and got the offer 9 days later.

Question 1
2 string/array questions, 1 hashmap question, 1 system design question, 1 sorting question, 1 expression tree question, 1 trie question.
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 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.
