Microsoft Interview Guide: Interview Questions, Answers and Details 2024 (Program Manager, Product Manager/Technical Account Manager and similar non-dev roles)
(Also applies for Product Marketing Manager, Associates, Operations Manager, HR/Recruiter and Business Managers)
Last update: August 24, 2024. (This update was a rather big one. I have updated the content significantly based on feedback and added more questions that were asked to my recently hired colleagues in similar departments.)
With the recent hiring slowdown and continued layoffs in 2024, getting an offer from Microsoft is much more challenging and it requires a perfect interview. Increase your chances by studying answers from recent employees that got them into Microsoft.
Contents of the Microsoft Interview Guide
– How to get an interview at Microsoft.
– The questions recent candidates have been asked. (More than 150 pages of recent questions & answers with category & type breakdown)
– Microsoft employees’ “winning” answers to them (Those were the answers that got them into Microsoft).
– Behavioral Questions for managers and individual contributors.
– Many other crucial information that will help you stand out.
We are pretty sure that this Microsoft Interview Guide downloadable book will help you a lot during your interviews. The questions and the process also apply to manager roles in different global offices since they have a pretty standard process across the board.
Microsoft constantly finds itself in the “Top Companies to Work For” lists, and it is not a surprise. With its products and services used by more than a billion people, it is one of the best-known companies in the world. It has many offices around the world and it is known to make its employees really feel like they belong. We really hope that you get a job offer here!

I used Ryan’s guide for my interviews for an Atlanta-based TAM role. I can say that I passed two of my “panel” rounds with the help of his questions & answers. Waiting to hear from the HR about the final steps now. I recommend his guide highly if you are intervieweing for Microsoft.
