I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Dec 2020
Interview
Made it to first-round interview for PM intern. The interviewer, unfortunately, sounded like he could not care less throughout the entire call. He just wanted to ask the mandatory questions and get out ASAP. Tried my best to get a conversation flowing but he refused to budge and just wanted to move on to the next. The main design question was pretty weird considering it was more architectural than software of tech.
There was a phone screening and 3 interviews. The biggest thing was the product manager design question. For example, what is your favorite product then they ask a series of questions about each steps of how you would improve/built it.

1 phone screen (mostly a resume review). Followed by a half day onsite. The on-site consisted of 4 1hr long interviews, mix of behavioral and technical questions. Heard back 1 week after the on-site.
