Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Microsoft (Seattle, WA) em mar. de 2022
Entrevista
I had one phone screen that consisted of common behavioral questions and a design question. I then moved on to the final interview day that consisted of 4 virtual interviews on MS teams. Every interview was behavioral questions and probing to see if I understood the product that team was working on. Didn't get any design or technical questions on the final interview day. I suggest building a relationship with the recruiter to determine what team you are interviewing with so you have a deeper understanding of there product.

Design a kitchen,
Why Microsoft,
Strengths and Weaknesses,
Product knowledge for that team,
Common behavioral questions
First, an on campus interview with a business operations / analytics manager, in person interview with lots of engineering managers.
Second, onsite interview with engineering and program managers. The team i was interviewing for seemed super engineering oriented (their product is kinda like a microsoft engineering consultancy) so I had more engineering/cs questions that the average interview

Entrevista
I talked to the HR representative at our school job fair and was scheduled for a on-campus interview. The HR is very professional and friendly in terms of replying emails, answering questions...etc. However, the interview itself went pretty bad. I knew they will ask you the position you're looking for and ask you questions based on that (e.g., ask you design questions if you're looking for a PM position and algorithms/ coding if you're looking for a SDE).
After I told the interviewer I'm looking for a PM position he kept asking me about algorithms and even asked me to optimize it when I gave him the answer. Since the questions weren't hard, I was able to answer them quickly, but he just kept going deeper and deeper until one point I couldn't come up with answers.
I talked to other people who interviewed with other interviewers and they said theirs weren't that bad so I guess I just got unlucky.
