Colloquio
i interviewed the program manager intern in Canada. At first, i received the email from the recruiting managing to arrange the interview time. It was like 10 days before the interview day. On the interview day, I bused over an hour to the place. The interviewer was a software engineer manager. Without a self-introduction due to lack of time, he first tasked me to solve a coding question. Then, he asked me a behavioral question "tell me a time when you encounter a big problem in the team, and how you solve it". It might be followed up with a design question, but it depended on the time left and the roles applied. The interviewer asked me a design question. but to be honest, i didn't answer it well. At last, he said we still have 3 to 5 minutes for me to ask some questions. Overall, the interview was a nice learning opportunity since it was my first interview in my dream companies.

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.
