Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Seattle, WA) en oct 2021
Entrevista
Recruiter sent me a wrong link (i got referral from an old coworker) and the schedule got delayed. Later we found out that the recruiter was using the wrong job. Finally got the interview scheduled. Last minute it was split into 2 days. The last interviewer didn't introduce himself and asked me for my experience. In between he asked why i am working now. The recruiter told to expect 2 rounds of coding and i got 4 rounds of coding. After that I never heard back from them. No email or phone call. It is a very weird experience.
