I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Phone Screen followed by four interviews in Redmond. First three went well and got to the hiring manager. The fourth one went well too, I thought. Got an email a few days later telling me that I was to be offered the position. On the day the offer was supposed to come, the recruiter called me and told me there was either a mistake made or the hiring manager changed his stance since she last checked. Thus, I was not offered the position. Then I was told that they were flying me back out for interviews with another team. I waited two weeks and sent emails, but then received an email back saying that they had filled all their PM positions for the summer. Heartbroken was an understatement as the company was very high on my list of places where I would want to intern over the summer.
Three rounds of interview starting with phone screening, middle round of online interview and final round of three interviews all schedule within a couple weeks time. Interviews were Microsoft recruiters followed by employees
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If your boss asked you to build a coffee machine in a car, how would you approach it?
Standard behavioral set of questions, walked them through past projects I've worked out and answered some case-like product question, like what is your favorite product / non technical product, etc.
Apply the summer intern programme through official website. 2 rounds of interviews in total. Give general idea of what is a good PM and talk about the latest project. Deal with a small case.
