Program Manager Interview
So, after weeks of preparation, I interviewed with Microsoft on March 13, 2008 for Program Manager Position. I interviewed with Office sharing Services and Outlook group. Usually you need to have 5 interviews to have a strong chance of getting a full time offer. Sadly, I just got three; now if that means rejection, I don’t know yet. I am not optimistic either. I did fairly well in first two of my interviews and probably got slightly relaxed in third one.
Overall the time I spent preparing for Microsoft, has given me a new perspective on product design. I believe I missed the chance very narrowly and should have gone in my favor. But, I want to continue my learning in the area of new product design especially understanding the customer’s requirements and specifying them. I would write in more detail about my interview and what all resources I used. I focused lot of my preparation time in understanding customer requirements and doing various design cases for new products. In retrospect, I should have spent some time on user interface designing. My UI design in 3rd interview wasn’t at par with ideas I generated for the design case given to me.
