      Senior Operations Program Manager Interview

      Sep 12, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Redmond, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in May 2014

      Interview

      I was previously a consultant with the team that hired me so I did not go through the traditional recruiting process. I submitted my resume directly to the hiring manager after she reached out and then she had the recruiter set up the interview loops.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      As a consultant, I was always willing to say "yes" to all the project requests that were thrown my way so I could delight my client. As an FTE, I would be asked to take on work that we are not resourced for or do not align to the overall business strategy - how do you challenge the requesting party, especially when they manage your team's budget?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Please try to be as detailed as possible regarding the technical question, business case, etc.
