The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2009
Interview
The guy who interviewed me was really tired and almost fell asleep a couple of times during normal conversation... He said he liked the job at MS but there are politics and stuff to deal with; asked a lot of why MS, why Product manager, do you even know what a product manager does, and fit type questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
give me an example where you were the users' advocate and worked on changing the UI for the users against the engineers design.
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.
