Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA) nel mese di ott 2008
Colloquio
All day non-stop interviews after two separate telephone interviews. High-pressure, many questions that felt as though my brain was being raided for good ideas. I enjoyed the puzzle questions, but many wouldn't.
I found the overall ego of every person with whom I spoke rather off-putting. I understand being an elitist, as a software engineer working for some of the most desirable firms, I am honest enough to label myself as such. But the people I met at Microsoft projected such an air of entitled snobbery that I just didn't feel as though I wanted to work with them.

"Is this just the GREATEST place you've ever BEEN!?!" (from the HR person)
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

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.
