      Operations Program Manager Interview

      20 Aug 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Redmond, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      There are usually 4 1-hour interviews for each interview loop. Internal candidates can request an "informational" 30-minute meeting with the hiring manager to decide if they want to apply. The interview loops are hard to schedule due to crazy calendars of the interviewers. They try to get external candidates in on the same day but internal candidates are sometimes spread across multiple days of interviews. The hiring manager is supposed to reach out to the people to offer the job or explain why they didn't get it. I've found that they rarely call when you don't get it. If you do get the job, it takes 1-2 weeks to process everything before you can accept an official start date in the new role.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Always expect to give detailed examples of situations and how you handled it. Expect them to ask you about times when you failed and what you learned from it.
