I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft in Mar 2021
Interview
Recruiter call, hiring manager call, last round is 1-hour group presentation and a few 1:1s with hiring manager, design team member and a bar raiser. The team was nice but there was no specific feedback provided for why they moved forward with other candidates. It made you feel that they didn't care much about the candidate experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you organize your projects and timeline?
How do you work with stakeholders?
What would your team come to you and ask advice for?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Got reached out by design manager - had a phone screen with them - got put in touch with recruiter for next steps. This is where things became terrible. The recruiter took forever to book a virtual onsite interview and when booked, they kept rescheduling until they didn't get back to me with a specific date. They ignored my emails for awhile and then after i sent my last email, they told me they had filled the position
This has to be one of the worst recruitment experience especially since i didn't even apply, they reached out to me. Do better Microsoft
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Roorkee) in Mar 2019
Interview
It is a 4 round process with 3 round technical and 1 HR round. All the technical rounds consisted of online zoom interviews of about 1.5 hrs. The HR round was basically about my fitting in the team.
