I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (La Jolla, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Above average difficulty phone screening. Typical behavioral questions were asked in addition to design questions and light technical questions. What caught me off guard was the extent of the technical questions. I had mostly been studying for design at this point. The recruiter did not give me feedback at the end and seemed to want to grill me very hard on my technical knowledge. she would always follow up with deeper questions.
Interviewed at Microsoft but I did not get an offer. Team was nice and there were free drinks and some snacks on site which was a plus. I would love to apply and interview again!
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Typical behavioral interview process. STAR format style interview questions. Why do you want to work at Microsoft, tell me about a time questions, greatest strengths, greatest weaknesses. Consisted of a recruiter screening, and three back to back interviews with senior and principal PMs.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was a level II and it was a great chat with the interviewer. More questions about my past experience, how I handled new features, change of requirements and my thoughts about AI replacing or writing code.
