I was called by a recruiter and asked a few questions regarding my experience, and had to answer around 5 questions. This was the first screening call and I wasn't as prepared or expecting to be asked so many questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pick a Product and how would you improve it?
My Microsoft & why PM position?
Describe a time of difficulty and how did you overcome it?
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.
