I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Köln) in Apr 2013
Interview
professionell, kühl, aufwendig
Mischung aus Standard- und speziellen Fragen
insgesamt normales Gespräch, die Teilnehmer waren mittelmäßig vorbereitet
straffer Zeitplan
mittleres Niveau
gab Kaffee und Wasser
insgesamt in Ordnung gewesen
Man sollte sich vorher überlegen warum man dort arbeiten möchte, was einen auszeichnet und von anderen unterscheidet und wie man Konflikte löst. Zudem seinen CV gut im Kopf haben und begründen können.
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
