I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Washington, DC) in Jan 2020
Interview
There was an initial phone screen by recruiters that are contracted by Microsoft. It went well and was very friendly. Primary questions were about security clearance, why I was leaving my prior employer, and a run down of my skills and work work experience. Moving forward I was selected for 3 back to back virtual interviews via Skype. The recruiter called me the night before and we went over some of the points that she knew they were looking for. Overall the 3 interviews went well, friendly, and mix of behavioral and skill based questions. At the end of the day, I was not selected for the position and the recruiter never followed up with me like she said she would.
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.
