Program Manager II at Microsoft

3.0
Average Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Hyderabad (took 6 months)

The overall hiring process was really time consuming and interview dates were changed many times during the whole process. The venue in NCR was OK. I was finally called for a full day interview to their Hyderabad office. Types of questions asked in the interview were really open ended in nature and some where related to real-life with no right or wrong answer. They mostly probed on the thought process, ability to cover different aspects of the problem. Though the event was not well planned in terms of managing time but overall I consider this a good experience.

Interview Questions

Design a mobile phone for 3-6 years old kids.
Design a ticketing system to solve the problem of large queues outside ticket counters on Metro stations in India.
Present a business case for Microsoft Office on Symbion Platform.
Future of smart phones and where do you see them after 5 years from now.

Negotiation Details

I was not able to negotiate as they were practically not open for negotiations.

Other Details

I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Company was very slow in decision-making. The interview was a pretty standard combination of behavioral and min-case. Post a review to see full interview
