I'm not sure if I understood this correctly - you had to interview for another team within the company, even though you've already went through that same process once? If true, that's ridiculous.

Hell, it's what Microsoft was doing fifteen years ago, and I have no reason to think it has changed. Change teams? You have to go through the same loop and same hazing as a new-hire candidate. There might be a little less paperwork, I don't recall.

Yep. I had a friend at Microsoft go through this a couple months ago.

That's right. You need to interview with the team you want to move to.

I don't think it's ridiculous. After all, different teams may have different hiring bars and specific skills you have to be proficient on.
