      Associate Software Engineer Interview

      12 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in May 2022

      Interview

      I had a final onsite interview at Microsoft which consisted of 4 rounds. I had a great experience with 1st and the 4th interviewers. They were interested in taking my interview and were continuously interacting with me which seemed like they were listening to me. But I didn’t have a great experience with the 2nd and 3rd interviewers. It didn’t seem like they were interested in taking my interview at all. The 2nd interviewer had his baby in his lap while interviewing me, it’s still fine I know the current situation but he was continuously on mute and whenever he unmuted I could hear a lot of noise which seemed like he couldn’t hear me or what I was saying, my thought process or anything because he didn't reply to anything so it seemed like he didn’t listen to me and was not helpful at all. And talking about the 3rd interviewer firstly he was very language-specific and asked me to code in Java. Then he gave me the coding question which he didn’t even explain what I had to do or what the question was about there was a pin drop silence and it seemed like it was only me talking to myself for 15-20 mins and I could see in the video after giving me the coding question he was on his phone all the time he also wasn't listening to me, didn't respond to me at all and wasn’t helpful. In the end he asked me a networking question which I wasn’t told to be prepared for at the first place and then when I told him I don’t know much about it he ended the interview there itself which was only 30 mins into the interview. He didn’t even finish the 45 mins interview. It seemed like he was not at all interested in taking my interview and didn’t want to listen to whatever I was saying. I am really disappointed with the interview and sorry to say but I did not expect this level of professionalism from Microsoft.

      Interview

      Made it to the first technical round for a near entry level position and the questions were of an insane level of difficulty, felt out of scope for what is expected of an entry level job
