Microsoft Product Marketing Manager Interview

Posted Jun 29, 2012

No Offer – Interviewed in Sydney (Australia) May 2012 – Reviewed Jun 29, 2012

Interview Details – Overall a professional interview experience. People were very friendly. Questions for each interviewer focused on a Microsoft competency. Examples include influence - how do you go about influencing people you have no control over but depend upon for an outcome? Always had to use examples of when you had done something in your career that met that competency. MSFT is very big and very matrixed which they realize is a problem for many people, so it's a focus of their interviews to be sure you can work in that environment.
