I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2019
Interview
Contacted by recruiter. Passed off to another recruiter. Virtual interview scheduled by yet another HR person. Virtual interview. Three 45 min. sessions. Easy conversations and no trick questions. Told I would hear back in 2 weeks. After 3 weeks contacted original recruiter to get status (figured I was out of the running anyway). Heard back from original recruiter, "I don't know what happened, I'll see what's going on." Two weeks later, not a peep. Totally ghosted me. Yeah, the next IT environment I managed will be getting a reduced Microsoft footprint.
Also erstes Interview mit HR, im Anschluss mit dem hiring Manager und zuletzt ein technisches Interview. HR hat die gängigen Fragen gestellt. Hiring Manager vermehrt über Verhaltensfragen und das technische Interview hauptsächlich um Cloud und .NET Anwendungen.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2025
Interview
The panelists were highly professional, fostering a friendly and engaging atmosphere. Their questions were thoughtful and relevant, contributing to a productive and insightful discussion. The overall experience was well-organized and demonstrated a high level of expertise.
Hit or miss with the people you engage. Some are good, some are not. This role is a stepping stone in my opinion. There are other positions one can move into after some time in this one.
