Microsoft Operations Manager interview questions

The interviews were mostly focused on current abilities and mostly focused on reasons for taking the job. The most common question was "Why do you want to work at this specific position for this specific group?" and "Do you know system X well"? (where X is a department-specific system). I think the days of "hiring for the company" instead of "hiring for the position" are gone.

Interview loop; 8 people. Precision questioning. Each interviewing building on previous interview. Be decisive and honest. Say you need to think about something before answering if you need time to give a thoughtful answer. Take the time to think. Silence is ok. Otherwise answer precisely the question then elaborate to give more color.
