Colloquio
4 rounds with a mix of peers and ++ level employees from the team's ecosystem. All interviews focused on a mix of behavorial questions, and system and user thinking problems.
I was interviewing for the role in Canada sitting out of India so conversations were scheduled late in the night. Interviewers were friendly and accommodating of this time difference.

- Tell about a time you solved a complex problem for the company
- Build a 'follow' feature for Microsoft Start
- Any new-age technology that interests you? Structure a product based on that technology.

Colloquio
Went onsite and talked to some low level PMs about their work. Was left guessing about what the context and content was about the role they were hiring for as they seemed to be waiting for me to pitch a STAR story FANGstyle tailored to the role that was not described.
It seemed like this was gatekeeping for someone who was not me. I've had principal offers at MS before.
The principal interview was interesting as all people who've been at the firm for twenty years are. They were the only one that was at all engaging. It was unclear what they were looking for in our chat, but that was expected from suave executives who deal with skip and LCA continually.

Tell me about my projects that aren't public information. Tell me about how much you've stalked me in prep for this interview.
Lots of standard boring behavioral interview questions.

Colloquio
Among all the companies I spoke to (and got offers from all of them), Microsoft interviews were the most humane. All people were nice, respectful, engaged, and I felt like I was sold the product more than asked to sell myself.

Mostly behavioral questions about working with engineers & questions on product design.
