I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2018
Interview
The process consisted of two rounds. (On campus recruiting.)
Round 1 was a standard behavioral interview. You "interview" for all sales positions. If you are selected for a final round, you think rank both your location and role preferences. They then combine this with the interviewer notes and if there's a match, you are invited to interview for that position.
The second round interview was with four people in the sales teams. It was quite conversational. They want to see if you are a good fit for the role based on experiences.
The process itself was quite slow. It also seemed to lack a cohesive structure. There was a main recruiter, but also two other people contacting me regarding logistics. When I asked a question, I did not receive an answer until the night before my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle the stress/pressure of a quota-based sales role where you have to hit your numbers monthly?
The entire experience was an unexpectedly long and exhausting process, involving far too many repetitive rounds, and ultimately left me feeling frustrated. Based on everything, I would not recommend it
It was quite good and seamless. I didn't have any difficulties, the interviewer was great and the overall experience is something I would definitely recommend to each and everyone of you.
Il est conseillé d'obtenir une referral pour passer le screening ensuite vous avez plusieurs entretiens.
Vous avez d'abord un entretien téléphonique, ensuite un entretien avec votre futur manager, ensuite un cas pratique et un entretien de validation par votre futur directeur. D'autres entretiens peuvent se rajouter en cas d'incertitudes ou d'hésitations.
