Since I did a fair amount of hires in MS, I believe I can answer on behalf of a few. I worked in engineering and obviously asked both simple and complex questions related to coding. But I also brought up questions that I had myself to get an extra set of eyes. For Program Managment I love Feynman asked”you created a new product for Microsoft, how do you make it a success, purely to see how the think, don’t go into any question expecting you can do it all, play along with the “one microsoft methodology “ and praise teamwork
