I am not in the market or looking for employment as I am a private consultant and have been for more than 5 years. Recruiter called and convinced me to interview the following week saying it is interview finals and decision will be made quickly. I accepted and interviewed. The interview did not seem serious from the start. 3 people each between 20 and 35 minutes each with not much questions. No interview by hiring manager. I sensed this was a waste of time. They probably already had someone to give the job to and wanted to stage some fake interviews for their internal auditing process. This is shameful as it plays on people's emotions and expectations and shows no respect or regard!

Questions were general about experience in the Microsoft Cloud and nothing like the Microsoft interview questions I was used to from 18 years ago when I joined the company. At that time, I had three waves of interviews over three days. In one of these waves, I was flown to Redmond for to meet with 6 people on the team I later joined. So sad to see Microsoft change the way it did!

Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Microsoft (Toronto, ON).
Entrevista
The onsite interview went really well overall. It consisted of four back-to-back 30-minute sessions, each with a different interviewer, which kept the energy moving at a good pace. The format was standard behavioral questions — think "tell me about a time when..." style prompts — so it was a comfortable structure to work through. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the experience feel much less stressful than a typical interview loop. For an intern role, the process felt thorough but fair, and left me feeling positive about the team culture.
