I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Miami, FL) in Mar 2013
Interview
The process is at least two rounds, they just want to see your personality. It begins with a large group interview, the process moves into one on one if they liked you during group interviews. Be persistent and be yourself. Their interviews literally just want to see what your personality is like. Bright and fun personalities excite them.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Miami, FL) in Dec 2019
Interview
The first step to watch out for is a questionnaire asking a bit about yourself for the position you applied, after that you are waiting for a phone screening or email stating weather you made it to the in store interview process.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Jacksonville, FL)
Interview
Thorough. A 2 part interview. They were having a hiring fare, so the first interview lasted less than 15 minutes which was a lot of pressure to market yourself as quick as possible. I lucked out and had mine towards the end of the day so I assume I was fresh on their minds. I was one of two selected to go to the second interview which lasted an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical interview questions. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" "What can you bring to us that we don't already have?"
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
The first interview almost didn't feel like one. It's was open house kind of set up but they made the environment extremely relaxed and fun. The second interview was a bit more intimate, I met with 2 different managers and they really just wanted an idea of who you are, and how your previous work experience would contribute to the company and the position you are interviewing for.
