Recruited as part of a on-site hiring event. Was told that the interviews went went; would be moving forward with an offer, and a call was to be set up for salary discussion. Completed ignored for weeks and the call never came. When I finally got a reply it was some vague response about issues happening internally that made them not able to proceed with the offer. Did not expect this from a big company like Microsoft, and was surprised they weren't able to put me on another position since it was a hiring event with multiple teams. Was a waste of time, considering they reached out for the event and I took time off from work to interview. Poor follow-up and recruiters have a lack of cohesiveness; other recruiters won't care about your situation if they're not working with you directly. SOL if your current recruiter is doing a poor job.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
