Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA) nel mese di apr 2007
Colloquio
Very well organized, clear communication chain throughout the interview cycle and interviewers, good prep on who I'd be seeing that day, very professional but tough interviewers. Spoke to about 8 people (turns out I was interviewing for 2 roles in 2 different groups) so there was some mutual confusion.
I was interviewing for a Program Manager role and was surprised by the variety of questioning. I got some programming questions, some design questions, but very very few project management/leadership questions which was a bit odd.
Everyone seemed quite smart (though a bit of arrogance in quite a few people) and engaged in the interview process which is very different than Google where several people on the loop appeared annoyed that they had to conduct an interview.

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.
