Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA) nel mese di mar 2013
Colloquio
I had an initial interview on my college campus. That apparently went well, because I went on to have some on site interviews a couple weeks later. They paid for everything and were very accommodating.
Upon arrival I was told I'd have 3, 4, or 5 interviews. The recruiter made sure to mention that the number was not an indicator of how I was doing (yeah right :) ). I had my first 3 interviews (including a lunch one) and felt like I did very solid on at least 2 of them. The questions were very straight forward design questions, one of which I had read in previous reviews on Glassdoor.
My next interview did not go so well. This brings me to the most important piece of advice I have. Even if the interviewer does not appear to like your ideas, stick to your guns and justify your position. I could tell my 4th interviewer hated my ideas. I flat out disagreed with him on quite a bit. However, I stuck to my position and gave justifications for why I thought the way I did. This must have been the way to go, because I went on to have my 5th interview. That interview went well and I was extended an offer.

I've given you a task to complete and you are a week away from shipping. You are told from your feature crew that you can't make shipping deadline. I tell you that if we miss the deadline you will cost us $1bln. What do you do?

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.
