I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I did my first round interview on campus. The recruiter was an engineer who first thought I was interviewing for the engineer position. He started by asking me about my previous experience and a few questions about how I led the team/communicated with engineers, etc. Then he asked me a product question and did a few rounds of follow-up on that. The interview ended with a technical one: write a compression algorithm.
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
