I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied on their website, after a few days the recruiter reached out over email and scheduled a first round interview. This was followed by a separate day of 3 other 1 hour interviews. 1 of the interviewers did not show up, so we rescheduled, then rescheduled again, then the interviewer missed our appointment again. I had a interview with the hiring manager after all of that that went well. The recruiter has not responded to my messages, and has effectively ghosted me.
Started with a recruiter phone call and a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager to negotiate a remote role since the job was based in Seattle and the manager agreed. Following up with five rounds of virtual on site. Four of them are coding/design. One of them is behavioral mostly leetcode medium level questions which I finished and I was able to do all the follow up and answer the design and time complexity questions correctly after the interview got ghosted for a whole month and got an automatic rejection email.
