I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2022
Interview
30 min phone call with recruiter followed by three 60min rounds with different team members and management.
Most disrespectful, intermediating, unprofessional, and hostile interview I ever had.
The manager didn't know what position I was interviewing for or for which location. During this 60 min of absolute torture, I was told that I was an underachiever and I would be at the end of the list regarding the performance review in January 2024 if I was successful in this role. I was called "Mate" several times, and I was compared to this man with a "God complex". It felt like the person I had an interview with had a bad day and just decided to take it on me.
This interview was on a verge of bullying.
Honestly, I was never so relieved not to receive a job offer.
Nothing about the interview was pleasant, respectful, or ethical.

I was rejected after the first interview then I was called back because a new similar position opened up I was given just one day notice for the interview which went well. After this second interview the Hiring Manager told me they hadn't taken a decision yet. However, the recruiter had already sent me the rejection email. I just wasted my time they probably just needed to fill the pipeline.
