Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 5 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft nel mese di gen 2024
Colloquio
1st short interview with recruiter,2nd interview with team manager and 3rd interview block, 4 hour long interviews with various folks from different locations (engineer, manager, product owner). All interviews were done remote via teams.
A week after the final interview block, I got a rejection email. A week after that, I got another email saying the first email was a mistake and I was actually moving forward. After chasing down the recruiters for clarification, I was told that second email was a mistake and I wasn't getting an offer. It was a real emotional rollercoaster for those 2 weeks.
Microsoft is aggressively hiring in Prague to move roles to a cheaper market. I guess with the volume of candidates they're managing at the moment, they really dropped the ball with how they handled my case. Very frustrating experience.
