      Program Manager Interview

      17 Sept 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hyderābād
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Sept 2019

      Interview

      Do not join CSEO - 1 hour telephonic + 3 F2F rounds on campus (2 by product management and 1 by engineering management). Ideally, this is followed by an F2F round with the Hiring Manager - The role was for their internal product (CSEO, known as MS IT earlier) for which MS is recruiting at this moment @ Hyderabad - All PM interviewers asked same questions - on product vision, goals, product, technology, process, my contribution, roadmap and data - Unlike regular PM interviews, no questions were asked on product design - While the telephonic interview and 1st round went smoothly, the 2nd F2F panel did not seem convinced with my responses (although I gave exactly same responses in the first 2 rounds). At one point, it felt as if the 2nd panel was humiliating me and the product that I was working on - On campus, I was told by the recruiter that I cleared the 2nd interview and each round was an elimination round. So, I waited 3 hours for the next interviewer (EM round) - After EM round, I was told by HR that they ll get back to me later as the hiring manager was not around - Next week, I was told that I didn't qualify the 2nd F2F interview round and they will get back once they have a consolidated feedback - Till now, HR has not bothered to get back or update status on Microsoft Portal. She kept saying that she doesn't have feedback of all interviewers. After few days, she was unresponsive. If you really respect a candidate's time, you would have the courtesy to atleast tell them about rejection. All it takes is an email or a phone call, which should be automated by the very team that was interviewing me! Heard that other teams within Microsoft are much efficient wrt Recruitment but I cannot comment on it.

      Program Manager Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Not a great experience with interviews taking 1 month to complete. Despite ongoing communication, the role did not move forward, reportedly due to approval constraints. The overall experience highlights a gap in aligning internal approvals before progressing candidates to advanced stages. Clearer communication and better alignment internally would improve the candidate experience

      Program Manager Interview

      8 Sept 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Redmond, WA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)

      Interview

      The interview process is grueling and I get why people do it but its more awareness, know that you'll spend an entire day and meet several people, so it's important to be mentally and physically prepared. Eat a good breakfast but not heavy stay hydrated. This was just for a PM role it's their standard process I imagine executive level is another thing altogether

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      Very smooth, thoughtful interview process. It showed the recruiter really cared what I had to contribute and asked great followup clarifying questions. Would definitely recommend everyone try an interview with them even if it doesn't pan out.
