I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2017
Interview
First interview was an in person with a coding question and letting them know what kind of position i was looking for. Then they asked me to do a phone interview which was almost all case based or situational questions, about 30min long. Got an email from a recriuter about doing a final round on site interview which is scheduled to be later this month where I'm supposed to meet with 3 or 4 different people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you faced conflict within a team, and how you dealt with it
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.
