I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2020
Interview
I received an email requesting a virtual interview about 3-4 weeks after I applied for the position. It was conducted over MS Teams and went by fairly quickly. The interviewer was nice and seemed interested in my projects and explanations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic "tell me about yourself/your projects" questions. "How would you design a refrigerator?"
- Initial Screening: Phone Interview
- Final Round: 4-6 interviews all online on Microsoft Teams
Final round interviews are taken by members of the team you'll most likely be working with. They were all very friendly and accomodating.
Simple and straight forward. A lot of the questions can be answered if you have knowledge of user data and scaleable projects. I don't think anyone with a PM background would do bad on these questions.
