J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en avr. 2021
Entretien
One 45 min Leetcode tech screen to start. Then followed up with a final round loop with two 45 min Leetcode technicals. No behavioral. Offer decision is made after that.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Entretien
Process: 3 virtual interviews in a single day (75 minutes each) via MS Teams and HackerRank.
Overall Experience: Positive, highly technical, and deeply focused on data structures, optimization, and system design.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Round 1: Project & Architecture Review (75 mins)Focus: Deep dive into past technical experience.Details: The entire round was dedicated to presenting a personal/academic project. The interviewer asked detailed questions regarding the system's architecture, specific algorithmic choices, trade-offs, and design decisions.Round 2: Coding / Algorithms (75 mins)Focus: Problem-solving, bitwise operations, and array manipulation.Questions Asked:Bitwise Operation (LeetCode 2275 - Largest Combination With Bitwise AND Greater Than Zero): Given an array of integers, find the size of the largest subset where the bitwise AND of all elements is greater than zero. Insight: Count the number of set bits (1s) at each of the 32 bit positions across all numbers.Frequency Tracking (LeetCode 169 - Majority Element): Given an array, find the element that appears at least $n/2$ times (guaranteed to exist). Can be solved using a Hash Map ($O(n)$ space) or optimized using the Boyer-Moore Voting Algorithm ($O(1)$ space).Round 3: Low-Level Design (LLD) (75 mins)Focus: Object-Oriented Design (OOD) and data structure integration.Details: Design a parking lot system. The core challenge evolved into choosing the optimal combination of data structures to achieve $O(1)$ efficiency for parking, leaving, and tracking the physical index of each vehicle.Key Solution Concept: Integrating a Fixed-size Array (to maintain physical indices), a Doubly Linked List (to manage the pool of free spots), and a Hash Map (to map vehicle IDs to list nodes).
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Herzliya) en mai 2026
Entretien
3 online interviews, one and a half hours each, and two senior interviewers per interview. Must pass
an online code assessment beforehand. All 3 interviews were done in a two day timeframe.
