The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2018
Interview
Initial screening over a phone call. Lasted around 30-40mins.
Next 3 PM rounds at Microsoft office.
3 PMs each from a different team. Product wasn’t known for which they were hiring and each pne evaluated for their own product-line. The hiring was for some product under O365 suite.
Round 1: ~90Mins
Round 2: ~ 45Mins
Round 3: ~70Mins
You have a restaurant in Koramangala providing fine dining experience to customers. Provides Punjabi food. What KPIs do you measure?
Say all the KPIs are flat, assuming your visitors are constant but customers served are reducing per month and those turning down are increasing. What could be the reason?
You are flipkart and you see customers coming to your site looking at the product (window shopping) but not buying the product (no conversion). They are purchasing it from the same sellers retail store (brick & mortar). How do you activate or convert such customers? (monetization)
5 rounds of interview- 1 hour each. Logical questions related to the role and previous experience. Every interviewer was calm, kind and knowledgeable. The process was quick. The schedule was on time.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I first had a discussion with the hiring manager and then 3 short interviews with 3 different people that'd I'd be likely working with regularly. The interviews were focused on cultural attributes -- growth mindset, customer obsesses, diverse and inclusive, and finally One Microsoft.

Question 1
Tell me about a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
The Interview process was intense. I interview for the Bing Ads team and the questions were quite technical regarding experimentation and A/B testing. Focused on the publisher prespective and how the experimentation platform was built. Not much behaviourial questions were asked.
