J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en déc. 2010
Entretien
Phone screen and then an in-person interview loop with multiple people. Interestingly I found the phone screen the most difficult compared to the in-person interviews as it it was clear they were looking for very specific answers to their questions requiring me to figure out the right answer versus a possible answer. Not a great way to find good people. The actual interview loop itself was quite good. I found out later many of these phone interviewers are external contractors and not actual Microsoft employees.

Question 1
Didn't find a most difficult question but enjoyed open ended design questions. Be prepared for a few of these.

Entretien
Not a great experience with interviews taking 1 month to complete. Despite ongoing communication, the role did not move forward, reportedly due to approval constraints. The overall experience highlights a gap in aligning internal approvals before progressing candidates to advanced stages.
Clearer communication and better alignment internally would improve the candidate experience

The interview process is grueling and I get why people do it but its more awareness, know that you'll spend an entire day and meet several people, so it's important to be mentally and physically prepared. Eat a good breakfast but not heavy stay hydrated. This was just for a PM role it's their standard process I imagine executive level is another thing altogether

Question 1
Tell me about a time you didn't agree with someone who was a stakeholder on your project and how did you handle that?
Very smooth, thoughtful interview process. It showed the recruiter really cared what I had to contribute and asked great followup clarifying questions. Would definitely recommend everyone try an interview with them even if it doesn't pan out.
