I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2024
Interview
one phone call with a CSAM, and one loop interview with 3 professionals.
Terrible, the first phone call i have was not a recruiter or a HR, is a dude working at MSFT for over 20 years and he did not introduce himself at all, literally asked him at the Q&A and he shared he is a CSAM...When I asked when should i expect for the next step, he was like "I should have a answer for you but I actually don't know."
The loop interview is even crazier... It was set for 45 mins each, the last two interviewers who were CSAM are fine, but the first dude told me it's his first time being a interviewer, asking me questions for 12 minutes and it's done. Can you believe that? So I asked him some clarifying questions and asked about the jobs and we ended the interview like 26 mins. I was too stunt to even say anything.

Question 1
Why MSFT? Why CSAM? Tell me about a time you deal with a difficult customers.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY)
Interview
First round first, followed by three interview rounds for the final round in a few weeks. Third round was 3 rounds with 5-10 mins intervals. I really loved interviewing with Microsoft. Each interviewer seemed like people I would also love to work with.
Reach out by HR recruiter, then 3 interviews with manager and team members. After interview a follow up with recruiter that I was preferred candidate and salary/bonus negotiations. This was my third time applying and first experience with interview process.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Dec 2025
Interview
It was amazing. There were three rounds. Started with phone screening, then meeting with recruiting manager, and then the director. The process was smooth. The interviews were back to back - almost everyday.
