I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tokyo) in May 2025

The interview process consisted of five rounds: two technical interviews, two manager interviews, and a final executive interview.
The first technical interview focused on basic technical questions, and the second one was a presentation on a task.

Question 1
scenario based questions are more in the discussion
I had a 1-hour technical interview with a panel of three interviewers. The atmosphere was friendly and conversational. The interview did not dive deep into architecture or highly technical troubleshooting. Instead, it mainly focused on conceptual questions related to Microsoft 365 / Office 365 products and how the different services work together.
