I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2008
Interview
- Phone interview went well. Pretty good with hiring manager.
- I was provided with a couple of recruiters which was good. Great to know that I was being recommended internally.
- Typical all day interview as I read about. Wasn't impressed with the managers but went along.
- Was treated well with the travel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked the typical questions. Nothing that hard really. I prepared pretty well.
2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable

Question 1
Tell me about a difficult stakeholder and how you handled the situation
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!

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.
