      Software Development Manager Interview

      2 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Lagos
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Lagos) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      Not a straightforward process. You might think you did well and see a different outcome. More like they already had in mind the candidate they wanted. To me, I feel it's not a straightforward process. And when they want to collate results, they usually want to go in the direction of the hiring manager. This is my opinion. I would love it if results are gotten independently.

      Many questions about system design and architecture and management skills.

      Software Development Manager Interview

      30 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redmond, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I came in to interview for a technical management position but the actual position was more like program management. The first person I interview with was a VP and he didn't like me. Since interview feedback is shared forward and no one else would counter the VP I wasted a whole day interviewing for a job I couldn't get and which I didn't want. Sigh.
