I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2021
Interview
first interview they ask you basic software knowledge questions before moving into a problem solving question(non coding) and in the final interview you have to talk to the team (individually) with 1-3 mins break in between and each ask you a coding question
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
for the problem solving question you were asked how you would split a rock with an unknown weight into 3 equal parts
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.

Question 1
implement a dictionary where you have set,get and setAll, all in O(1)
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.
