Microsoft Program Manager interview questions

I got a referral and had an on-campus interview. The interviewer was very nice and surprisingly didn't ask anything about my resume.. He asked me to design an interactive interface inside a taxi. So we discussed different scenarios. It was fun.

Applied during university career fair. Got a fast response and had a on-campus interview the next week. First-interview: -Asked about projects -Some behaviour questions -How to find the number of occurrences of an integer in a shorted array? Got an invitation to the on-site interview the week after. Flew to Seattle about three weeks later. Everyone in my group had 4 interviews, so don't worry if you don't get more in the afternoon. -There is a projector that can project images all 4 walls in the room and it is able to recognize gestures. Design an application that can benefit from this. -Design a smart watch -Implement a function that returns a boolean of whether two rectangles overlap. -Implement a function that returns whether two strings are identical. One of the string can have '*' which means 1 to infinite random characters can be in between and '#' means only one character in between. For ex: abcd vs ab#d --> true, abcd vs abcbcd --> true -Why do you want to work in Microsoft? -What is your favourite product and how will you improve it? -Name a time there was a conflict during a group project and how did you resolve it? -What do you think about Windows 8? How would you improve it?
