Anyone join Microsoft consulting recently and want to share what the interview process was like? I have an interview coming up and was told it would be all behavioral with 1 interview being a conversation about technical skills. Is this truly how it works? And if your able to, can you share some the type of questions asked? I’m not sure if I should prepare for a whiteboard type of interview since it’s a technical role

Depends on team. Everyone does things differently.

i’ve actually heard from multiple recruiters that the interview process from the microsoft consulting arm has no whiteboard or coding so i’m just trying to get insight if this is true and what kind of questions they ask. I would think that all the teams in the consulting practice follow these guidelines if true

Heads up. Interviewing at an Attest client - you should check our independence policy.

Just went through the interview process for the Azure Data/AI role. There were 2 technical and 1 behavioral interviews. No coding at all for the technical portions.

They’ll ask you your YOE in whichever tools they’re looking for based on requirements to see what your background and expertise is like. They also want to get a feel of what level you might excel in when describing your experience. Hope this helps and good luck!

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role.

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
