The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2011
Interview
My resume was submitted through the job career site by an employee of Microsoft with her recommendation for the position. A phone interview was set up for a week later. When I was called the recruiter had reviewed my resume and already made up their mind that I would not be a fit for the position. The conversation was short and disappointing. I was not asked any work experience questions but was referred out to other companies to look at.
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.
