Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Seattle, WA) nel mese di set 2008
Colloquio
I only did the initial phone screen and did not pursure it further since I decided against moving for a job. I also heard from other microsoft insiders that that team did not have much growth. I remember that they were particular about having a landline to have the technical interview on, a mobile phone would not do. Some microsoft paranoia :) ?

Since this was for program management, I expected some ambiguous questions. The main one was : "What would you do if you see a colleague who is running late for a meeting, and is struggling with a vending machine that has taken the cash but not dispensed the soft drink yet ?"

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)

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.
