I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Taipeh) in Jan 2021
Interview
my first round is with HR to screen my background since I was referred by my previous supervisor who was the manager in Microsoft. it's easy to pass the first screening interview.
However, I had 3 interviews with my hiring manager since I have no experience in IT company and very difficult to benchmark my achievenments in other industries. He needs more interviews to understand my capabilities and potential.
Multiple interviews, lengthy process, overall I found experience to be fair. Challenging as each interviewer came at me from different angles: sales, tech, industry, customer experience, etc. I think they were looking for someone with specific industry expertise as to requirement. Be prepared to know some of their go-to-market from website.
