I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2016
Interview
I was referred to Microsoft through one of their HR team members. I spoke with a Microsoft recruiter about HR opportunities. The conversation seemed to go well, and the recruiter suggested I could be a fit for two different opportunities she was working on. She said that she would have her colleague to reach out to me to schedule phone conversations with both hiring managers and also sent me a follow up e-mail with details on scheduling next steps and additional information about Microsoft. I never heard from the individual who was going to reach out about scheduling, so I contacted the recruiter again. I reached out to her multiple times by both e-mail and phone and never received a response. I find this lack of follow up unprofessional and would have expected the recruiter to acknowledge my messages to her.

I interviewed at Microsoft (Hollywood, Los Angeles)
Interview
Pros: Super transparent recruiters and constant updates, clear expectations. Engineers were chill and collaborative, not gatekeepy. No trick questions; they wanted to see real problem-solving.
Cons: The onsite felt marathon-like (take breaks if you can). Levels. fyi salary data was spot-on, but negotiation took effort for equity bump.
Il processo di colloquio per HR Assistant in Microsoft inizia con uno screening iniziale, seguito da test online su competenze HR e abilità analitiche. Poi ci sono interviste tecniche e comportamentali con il team, orientate a valutare le capacità di comunicazione, la gestione dei dati e l’allineamento alla cultura aziendale.
