Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft nel mese di feb 2012
Colloquio
There was a career fair I went to where I met recruiters and a program manager and software engineer. i spoke with them about my interest in cognitive science. It helps to pitch yourself and your ideas rather than let them talk to you. They liked my ideas and who I was I think and sent me an invitation to interview and attend a pre-interview session. I spoke a great deal asking the right types of qs at the pre-interview session and because I outshined everyone else I assured myself entry into the next round. However at the on campus interview they realized I suck at coding, I have taken very basic courses, and it was not enough to be a program manager. The person I interviewed with said he loved my communication skills and what I was about but I would get killed in the next round of coding questions. They never emailed me back to tell me yes or no I just assumed no.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Hyderabad) nel mese di gen 2026
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)
Colloquio
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.
