The recruitment process involves an initial resume screening to shortlist candidates. Successful candidates then proceed to undergo two technical evaluation rounds to assess their skills and expertise. As part of their journey, they will engage in a hands-on project, guided by a mentor assigned by Microsoft. This practical experience provides valuable insights and an opportunity to apply knowledge in a real-world context. Finally, candidates participate in a concluding interview round, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation before making the final selection. This multi-faceted approach ensures a thorough assessment and aligns with the high standards set by Microsoft.

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.
