I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Phone screen followed by in-person interview loop with multiple teams. Interview teams included peer group and supervisors etc. All day affair from 8 am to 6 pm in the evening, fairly meticulous etc
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Durham, NC) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online, they sent me an email a couple weeks later telling me they wanted to proceed with an interview. Had a couple of days to prepare for the product management interview and then went to the on-campus interview center to conduct my interview. Didn't last for more that 40 minutes, woman was nice and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic behavioral question before going into a product design question, had to be very thorough with details and make considerations. Interviewer was pretty nice, gave clues and helped point me in certain directions to get me on the track she wanted. Ended up moving onto second round but by that point, spaces had already filled up.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online, then video recording, skype chat 1:1. The whole process took a lot of time and you had to wait for the answer more than 3 week at every stage.
