The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I was referred through a friend, then had a few phone screenings. I then had an on-campus interview in Redmond. Overall, the experience was really great. I was interviewed by 4 PM's over the course of one day. Everyone was very supportive. It was very exhausting. Microsoft accommodated a 2 night/ 3 day stay at a hotel near HQ. They also gave the interviewee cohort passes to the Space Needle and a lot of the interns went.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were a mix of technical questions (a version of Mergesort) and non-technical (redesign the shopping experience).
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.
