hi I have an interview with microsoft consulting for a position of engagement manager. Can any one help me with what kind of an interview questions i can expect for a engagement manager position ...is it case study based or something else. thanks & regards ram

Hi, Not sure how much i can really help. I worked at Microsoft for my placement year with MCS (Microsoft Consulting Services), which is the umbrella for all EM's. The several different manager will interview you and they all have ever different approaches and questions. Howver they are usually very relaxed and dont be suprised if you are sat in the 'Atrium' which a coffee. They will start with the general questions, then tailor the interview around your style. As far as im aware they wont do any psychometric tests (but this could have changed). Im sure this hasn't helped very much, but will do my best to find out any further information for you.

My concern about MCS was that I didn't want to get plonked on a client site, more or less on my own for a year, having to justify why they are paying microsoft £250K/year for the privilege of having me... it sounds like a very difficult/uncomfortable job to do... I didn't want to be so exposed and couldn't actually get a clear answer about what I was supposed to do there other than become a 'trusted advisor' (so much easier said than done, especially when you're working for a vendor)... but I may have understood the role incorrectly?
