Colloquio
Got contacted from a recruiter to set up a phone interview.
The phone process was very different from any interview I had done. When asked a question the interviewer would immediately ask another question based off of the answer you had provided. Very cool interviewing process and I am happy to have experienced this type of interviewing method.
About a week later I was informed that I made it through to potential next round of interviews which would be onsite.
Few days later after that email saying I was potentially going to the onsite interview, got an email saying that I was out of the running for the interview being that the demand for the PFE role had decreased. I was provided with clarification on why I was no longer able to go to the onsite interview. I was very happy that immediate feedback was given because I was scared that I had done something wrong which knocked me out of the running.
This interview process was very good. I am happy I was able to go through the phone interview, it is unfortunate I wasn't able to do the onsite interview but I completely understand why they scaled back on candidates.

Colloquio
The whole process was very smooth!
Started off with a 30 minute phone screen with a recruiter. You must be ready to talk about your reason for Microsoft, also be ready to break down technical terms into simplistic explanations. Should they decide to move forward, you would be invited for an onsite interview.
The onsite consists of 3 very subjective interviews where you would be making a 10 minute presentation of any topic of your choice in one of the interviews. The reason I said the interviews are subjective is because I was expecting behavioral interviews but my first interview was fully technical. I also had to whiteboard (pseudocode however). I was tested on what was on my resume so be fully prepared to defend your resume in its entirety.
My second interview was where I did my presentation. My advice for a topic is one in which you can demonstrate technical knowledge and passion simultaneously. I knew my interviewer enjoyed the presentation and the rest of the interview was very smooth.
My third interview was a case study style. A lot of scenarios of working with clients and having to resolve issues. Tip: Utilize the whiteboard and show structured thinking in however you come up with an answer/recommendation.
La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Milano) nel mese di dic 2019
Colloquio
Due colloqui in sede a Milano nel 2019. Primo colloquio tecnico sorprendentemente discriminatorio: quando l'esaminatore ha visto la fede al dito ha detto subito: "Questo non è un tipo di lavoro per chi è sposato e magari ha figli". Secondo colloquio con manager in collegamento remoto molto piacevole e discorsivo (in inglese). Mesi dopo ho saputo che cercavano una figura meno tecnica e più commerciale. Inutile perdita di tempo, peccato.

Domanda 1
Domande palesemente difficili al fine di non proseguire con il colloquio. Cercavano qualcuno privo di vita personale da mandare in lungo e in largo per l'europa a vendere prodotti mascherandoli per interventi tecnici.
