I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I spoke to 3 senior Program Managers on the teams I was interested in. It was overall a very nice experience. It was interesting asking them about their experience with the team and the company altogether. There were no technical questions but they did ask about my classes and whether I'd have the required coursework to start at that level.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderâbâd) in Mar 2012
Interview
The interview process was mostly a mix of technical questions, puzzles and common sense questions on Management. On technical interview, I was asked to write a program that would randomly shuffle an array of numbers. On puzzles, I was asked something on pirates
