I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Several emails and phone calls, with major delays in-between. Then once they got back to me it was for another position. I really love Microsoft Products but the interview process was very lengthy.
Interviewed by 2 senior engineers. Asked reasonable questions. Focused on Azure. Infrastructure as a service / Platform as a service questions. Asked to compare AWS / Azure services. Asked how to use durable functions.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I traveled across the country to visit on site. I had multiple interviews on the same day. Each interview focused on a different focus or domain. I was told that I would only progress to later interviews if I made a good impression on earlier interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you improve the consulting business to help reduce the frequency when consultants leave the consulting pool to become an employee of the client (loss of talent, loss of institutional knowledge, etc).
Most discussions were with the recruiter. Just had two interviews with the management. Did not get two much info regarding the role. The process was quick, which was very good.
