I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Praag) in Sep 2025
Interview
Tech Screening 1h with easy lvl leetcode task, then two coding interviews, one with trivial algorythmic task(mid lvl) and the second one was a bit difficult, not only the task itself but the definition of expected result and its format. Last interview was the system design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The non-trivial task was about implementing K-Means Clustering. But the task, expected result and entry data were poorly described. System design was smth like howto design doker-like platform.

Interview
After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
