      Project Manager Interview

      Jul 14, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2011

      Interview

      Got a call from MS regarding an interview set up at a location altogether different from my city. I accepted the opportunity and travelled all the way there for the interview. First sentence: Oh! u are from ABC. We do phone interviews for that city and take locals for in-person. Don't know how this was messed up. Well but we like in-person interviews so lets get started! Asked about why I applied for this position, what is my fav machine/gadget and why, wht software on it do i like most and why, wht is one feature u wud like to enhance in tht software and why. my software was MS ppt! He like the suggestion tho next question was on FB messaging - how to improve those features. After considering all the options i presented and he thought of, he picked one and asked me to write function level details for it on a whiteboard. Once that was done, he said 'ok thank you' Of course I got a 'sorry' email but it was interesting to see the level of functional detail expected out of the candidate applying for a PM post - they do view PMs differently. Apart from the HR location goof up, no catch anywhere. in fact most questions were from Glassdoor itself!

      Interview

      2 week after applying online the recruiter called, we set up a phone screen, after that completed a 3x back to back interview with an hour break in between. Not too bad overall and very manageable
