Make sure to do your research to gain an understanding of Microsoft's past and present issues and challenges. Don't stop at understanding the position you're interviewing for. You should understand what's happening in the tech industry, what Microsoft is doing well, and how they can make themselves stand out from the competition. Demonstrate that you've done your homework and have your own thoughts about the future of the tech industry.
