Lengthy interview process of approximately 2.5 months. Overall process included phone call with hiring manager and employee who was formerly in role. Conversation with HR Recruiter. In person interview loop with 6 people, both fellow team members and cross functional stakeholders. One more follow up in-person interview to assess analytical skills. Most of the interviews were behavioral, situational based questions. Knowing the STAR method is critical. Some questions were hypothetical focused on understanding my decision making approach. Overall you got a really good understanding of the personalities of the team and organization, as well as the opportunity to understand Microsoft's culture and values. The interviewers were engaged, spent lots of time with me, asked me hard questions, but overall was a very pleasant experience making me feel confident to move forward with accepting a role.
