Application
I applied through university. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Microsoft (New Delhi) in Nov 2013
Interview
First aptitude round on university level, then two or three interview rounds inclusive of HR rounds.
3 back-to-back 45 mins interviews. Interviewers were very nice and it’s important to master behaviorals. I was asked some product sense questions too as I applied for a product manager role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Microsoft? When was the time you faced a challenge and how did you overcome?
first round was resume shortlist, didn't even shortlist profile for 2nd round, no interview furthermore. I have an excellent resume. They shortlisted half of the students for the next round
