I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2009
Interview
This was a first round on campus interview that lasted 30 mins. The interviewer was very nice and friendly. The interview structure was as follows: one coding question, one tell me about your current work question, one why do you want to be program manager type of question, and tell me about a technology/software you like/dislike and why. I am yet to hear back from them.

Question 1
Tell me about a software/technology you like/dislike and why?
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jan 2026
Interview
Not a great experience with interviews taking 1 month to complete. Despite ongoing communication, the role did not move forward, reportedly due to approval constraints. The overall experience highlights a gap in aligning internal approvals before progressing candidates to advanced stages.
Clearer communication and better alignment internally would improve the candidate experience

Question 1
Questions on Project Experience and Thought process
The interview process is grueling and I get why people do it but its more awareness, know that you'll spend an entire day and meet several people, so it's important to be mentally and physically prepared. Eat a good breakfast but not heavy stay hydrated. This was just for a PM role it's their standard process I imagine executive level is another thing altogether

Question 1
Tell me about a time you didn't agree with someone who was a stakeholder on your project and how did you handle that?
Very smooth, thoughtful interview process. It showed the recruiter really cared what I had to contribute and asked great followup clarifying questions. Would definitely recommend everyone try an interview with them even if it doesn't pan out.
