I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
It was alright - the questions were direct and some case studies. The interviewee was friendly and helpful with many encouraging feedback. Instead of trying to answer too fast, try to make sure what are you saying are meaningful.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
2 short interviews (30minutes each) with an appointed local BPO. Interview arrangements were pretty straight forward, salary negotiation took me off guard as current pay slip was asked on multiple occasions as part of the negotiation process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mock presentation for client cloud adoption journey
2 Rounds phone screen and meeting hiring team just basic normal interview questions like any other entry level SDR or BDR job and an opportunity to interview them. 20 minutes and less both times.
Interview process seemed like I was applying for a coding software development position and lead by non-sales personnel. The HR person kept delaying the position and even the day of the interview asked me to go to lunch for 2 hours to wait for the interviewer to be ready.
