I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Fairly simple and straight forward. It had some great insights and I felt like the hiring committee was genuine about helping someone new like me join the industry. The Microsoft interview process typically begins with candidates submitting their applications through the company's career portal. A well-crafted resume is essential to catch the attention of Microsoft's talent acquisition team. They carefully review applicants' qualifications, experience, and alignment with the role's requirements.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Aug 2023
Interview
I had one of the worst product designer interviews ever. The interviewer didn't ask any relevant questions and interrupted me. They complained about my experience even though they were aware of it beforehand.
onsite will be a round of portfolio review and around 4 behavior interviews with different designers/researchers & 2 managers (your direct manager and your manager's manager). There is no whiteboard challenge, take-home challenge, or app critique which is nice :D.
