Question 1
Was war dein grösstes Scheitern und was hast du daraus gelernt
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Kornwestheim)
Interview
The do ask basic Cloud Technical questions but their mostly focused on Customer facing, learn about customer obsession and sales channels. I lost the opportunity coz i didnt fair on well on the Customer Facing Interview
The onsite interview went really well overall. It consisted of four back-to-back 30-minute sessions, each with a different interviewer, which kept the energy moving at a good pace. The format was standard behavioral questions — think "tell me about a time when..." style prompts — so it was a comfortable structure to work through. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the experience feel much less stressful than a typical interview loop. For an intern role, the process felt thorough but fair, and left me feeling positive about the team culture.
