Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Seattle, WA) nel mese di gen 2012
Colloquio
I got my first interview through my career services. Its a very generic process with one interview in the campus and once you clear that, they would invite you to Seattle.
I guess my on campus interview was very good, she asked some design questions.
This interview went pretty well and I was called for the next round to Seattle.
Here my interview was with the MS Ad Center group. I had 5 interviews, i had to solve plethora of design questions, some were based on online advertising technology as well. Since I had ample exposure to Online Ad targeting technology through my internship, I explained my internship project and talked about Ad Networks, Ad Serving technology and how the Ad targeting works by collecting data from cookies and other data partners.
I thought it went pretty well, but after a week i got a reject email from the recruiter. Not really sure what they were looking for.

"How would you design an app store for windows mobile app?" She was looking for an answer from both the retail users and the developers perspective. "How easily a developer can upload his apps etc etc"

Colloquio
Not a great experience with interviews taking 1 month to complete. Despite ongoing communication, the role did not move forward, reportedly due to approval constraints. The overall experience highlights a gap in aligning internal approvals before progressing candidates to advanced stages.
Clearer communication and better alignment internally would improve the candidate experience

Questions on Project Experience and Thought process
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA)

The interview process is grueling and I get why people do it but its more awareness, know that you'll spend an entire day and meet several people, so it's important to be mentally and physically prepared. Eat a good breakfast but not heavy stay hydrated. This was just for a PM role it's their standard process I imagine executive level is another thing altogether

Tell me about a time you didn't agree with someone who was a stakeholder on your project and how did you handle that?
Very smooth, thoughtful interview process. It showed the recruiter really cared what I had to contribute and asked great followup clarifying questions. Would definitely recommend everyone try an interview with them even if it doesn't pan out.
