I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2010
Interview
3 rounds of interviews, all were pretty easy. The interviewers asked questions like:
Why do you want this job
Why Microsoft
What do you think about [specific division you're applying to]'s [specific problem]? How would you solve it?
I got a few macro-level questions about the industry and company strategy, but that probably varies by position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked specific questions about high level tech trends & things in the news
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a level II and it was a great chat with the interviewer. More questions about my past experience, how I handled new features, change of requirements and my thoughts about AI replacing or writing code.
