I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2019
Interview
The woman I interviewed with was cold and rude. Every time I answered her question she provided no feedback and simply proceeded with the next question like a robot. I could tell she did not want to be giving an interview. It was the shortest interview I have ever been on and I knew she had already made up her mind about not hiring me. Every company is supposed to go over each applicants interview experience with the rest of the team but she made sure to send me a rejection email literally 30 minutes after the interview. I wouldn't even bother applying to a company who doesn't embody their values or treating everyone with respect.
Starts with resume screening and a recruiter phone call, followed by technical or functional interviews with problem-solving, coding, or case studies, plus behavioral questions based on LEAD principles. Attend an onsite or virtual loop, meet teams, and, if successful, receive an offer after reference checks.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sept 2024
Interview
I enjoyed the interview process. Had to go through 2 rounds of interviews. first round and second round was a superday. Just had to share about myself and why i wanna work for MSFT. Mostly behavioral and business analysis-technical type of questions. it was fun. I enjoyed it.
Need to be well prepared, quite a lot of technical questions, not a lot of behavioral questions. the people were very nice. Very welcoming & seemed like a friendly team.
