I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
Interview is generally an all day loop, consisting of the hiring manager, an account manager, and a technical panel. For anyone to be hired, it has to be a unanimous agreement. Any single veto means a no-hire. The hiring manager will want to be sure you have what it takes to survive in a large company and be a team player in a highly competitive environment. The Account Manager(s) will want to know your customer relationship skill are spectacular. The technical panel will grill you, find out what you know, and eventually what you don't know. Prepare by learning what each product is/does, but also know that no one knows everything, and it's ok to say "I don't know" - pretending to know looks much worse.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Athens, Athens, Attica) in Oct 2024
Interview
The hiring manager was warm and approachable, creating a relaxed atmosphere from the outset. The interview questions were open-ended, aligning well with the expectations for the role, which allowed me to share my experiences and insights naturally. Overall, the process was enjoyable, with a clear focus on making candidates feel comfortable rather than putting them on the spot. It was evident they prioritize a positive interview experience, allowing candidates to showcase their strengths in a supportive setting.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Buenos Aires) in Jan 2018
Interview
3 entrevistas telefónicas, 1 presencial. En la llamada telefónica tuve dos entrevistas técnicas y otra que me preguntaron la experiencia laboral previa. En la entrevista presencial estuve con el reclutador y me explicó como iba a ser el trabajo, llené los papeles y a la semana estaba trabajando con ellos. Muy ágil todo el proceso.
