I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jul 2023
Interview
First call with recruiter, followed by interview with hiring manager.
Second round was an interview with a peer of the hiring manager, followed by a third round with the director into the reporting line.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you translate technology into industry value?
Microsoft conducts interview loops and does not allow applicants to communicate directly with hiring managers. The interview loop is all conducted in a single day with 3 different individuals and consists of a culture interview, a technical/Microsoft solution interview, and an industry/role specific interview. These are the only steps in the interview process.

Question 1
Give me an example of where you have demonstrated a growth mindset?
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2023
Interview
Painful. 4 hours of interviews in a single day just to basically be told "we hired someone internally." You're interviewed by what would be your peers and no management whatsoever. The recruiters are incredibly unresponsive and provide NO feedback after 4 hours of interviewing. No respect for your time.
