I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2011
Interview
A recruiter contacted me and I was put in touch with department heads. We had two interviews. One skype, one in person. They asked me a variety of questions about my experience related to marketing and through hypothetical situations at me. It was a fairly painless process and everyone was quite friendly.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to manage a team with conflicting personalities.
I didn’t make it past first round. The recruiter called said I’d be great fit then ghosted me. I tried to reach back out several times but never heard back.

Question 1
They asked about my experience and what difficulties I had running campaigns.
The interview process was positive, was a decent length of time and was very clear the whole way through the process. Good experience overall, hard to find a negative. Not too hard but not too easy.
Like any other interview – over zoom, go over a case study. Need to prep a little but but mostly about answering questions with regards to the consumer product and knowing the market demographics inside out.
