J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo) en mars 2026
Entretien
First you have to complete a home assignment of two Leetcode questions in 90 minutes (can't remember them, but medium difficulty) .
After that, you're invited for an interview day (virtual, over Microsoft Teams)
In the first interview I was introduced to the team leader, the role I was going to be assigned to, and we talked about my previous experience and education, showcasing a project I was taking part in, and then we went on to do a simple Leetcode question.
The second interview was straight up two Leetcode questions and that's it.
All the interviewers were friendly, professional and made me feel like they wanted me to succeed, great experience overall.
Got a call one day later telling me I got accepted.
Questions d'entretien [5]
Question 1
Introduce yourself, showcase a project you took part in.
What were the challenges? Which parts were you responsible for? and other project specific questions
You're given an NxM matrix consisting of '*' and '.' values. Return a new matrix of size NxM, such that each '.' is replaced with the number of its neighbors that are equal to '*' (minesweeper problem but easier)
Implement a FastArray:
Init(n): initializes the FastArray to be of size n
Set(i, v): Set the value at index "i" to the new value "v"
Get(i): Get the value at index "i"
SetAll(v): Set all the values to "v" (calling the Set method overrides this for the specific index it was called on)
All operations should be at O(1) time complexity
Implement a BST Iterator:
init(root): Initialize the BST Iterator with the root of the tree (TreeNode)
getNext(): Return the smallest value (which wasn't returned so far)
hasNext(): Return True if there are values you haven't returned yet, False otherwise
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Entretien
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
