Colloquio
I contacted a recruiter after an on-campus infosession and he set me up with an on-campus interview. A week later, I got an e-mail saying I would move on to on-site interviews in Redmond. Everything was set up very smoothly and quickly.
The first night after arriving in Bellevue, they took us to a meet-and-greet for 3 hours in Redmond (by limo) with a whole bunch of other candidates, which may have been a bit too long because some had 8am interviews the next day and we left at around 11pm. The next day, I got to my interview in Redmond (again by limo), where the other college candidates that were interviewing for the same team were moved into the same conference room with the same recruiter (I had around 9) to chill in before and between interviews. I had a total of 4. Questions were all design questions, but I did have one technical question.
After the interviews, we hung out in the lobby of one building with an Xbox, Surface (the big one), and a bunch of cool stuff. We awaited our decisions with all the other college candidates for that day, recruiters calling us out one-by-one. Our recruiter called 4 of us out at once near the end, and told us we all got offers! He gave us all the details and since he was such a cool guy, showed us all around campus, which definitely sold me.

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

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.
