What do you manage risks and assumptions?
I got an interesting question once asking me to estimate how many gas stations were in the US. I've heard that more technical jobs will really get into the details of computer science, but I haven't had to deal with that. Watch out for questions like, "what is important to you?" That isn't a question (typically) about your real values in life. I was once asked that, and came to see that what was expected was an answer like, "I just wake up in the morning thinking about how I serve my customers better". Awesome, I guess, if you live for work.
Unexpected questions were more like what will you change in Microsoft if you were the CEO and why? What you dont like about Microsoft?
Tell me about a time a difficult project that didn't follow the normal process. Tell me about a time when you didn't meet the deadline. Tell me about your experience in general. Tell me your experience working with vendors.
Irrelevant questions like draw data models and draw detailed architecture.
Describe a previous greenfield project/product you've worked on from start to finish
How do you identify and mitigate risk?
Program Management, cross functional teams engagement, IT delivery, product roadmapping etc.
Not a difficult question nor unexpected, but I was asked what was the highest level executive to which I had ever presented.
