I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv) in Nov 2022
Interview
the first step was a LeetCode test, and the second was an HR interview, which was normal, at some point the interview was in English. unfortunately, I didn't get an offer since I was in my final semester at uni. the interviewer said that the reason for that is because the contract requires at least 3 semesters and it's mandatory, in other words entering this intern position with only 1 semester left would have caused a contract violation.

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 college or 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.
