Most Pathetic Microsoft Interview Experience after 8 rounds - L61

Education: Tier 3 College TC: ~34L YOE: 3 in PBCs (including MAANG) (Currently SE2) I recently got a chance to interview with Microsoft and it was probably one of the worst interview experiences ever. Team: CCE - Commerce Customer Experience (BEWARE OF THESE FOLKS!) Round 1 - March 27, 2024 An engineer from WA reached out to me via call and told me that they want to interview me for an opening. I was happy and agreed for an interview the next day at night. In the meantime, I asked the seniority, the job description, and the interview structure. He said 4 rounds and sent me a SE2 job description. He asked me DSA and some basic Java Questions. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Round 2 - April 1, 2024 A manager (who would have become my manager if selected), called me. He sits in HYD office. Asked me for an interview. He asked me tougher DSA and System Design. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Round 3 - April 10, 2024 Another person, who is the manager of the 2nd interviewer called me and asked me for an interview. Same, DSA, System Design. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Before round 4, I had to call and write emails to my 3rd round of interviewer to ask for updates as there is no HR involved; and he said, "The position has been put to hold because of some internal restructuring. Please just wait!" Round 4 - April 24, 2024 Another perosn called me from WA, and requested to schedule an interview. I thought this would be my last round. He asked me DSA, and tried to understand my profle and asked me some AA interview like questions. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Now, I was just hoping for a call form the HR to ask me for details to release an offer. But now the twist starts! Read more here:

Interview Experience at Jupiter Money

Recently gave an interview at Jupiter Money for Senior PM role: 1. There is an exploratory call to judge the fit - experience, skill and culture wise. 2. I was told there will be 3-4 rounds of interview and after that they will decide based on cumulative feedback of all the rounds 3. My first 2 rounds were scheduled - product sense and product strategy rounds. 4. First, The round got scheduled thrice. 5. I finally did my product sense round and to me it was one of the the best case study interview I gave. To the proof I also have complete documentation of the live case study I solved and also showed that to few senior product leaders in the industry. They also validated that that it was really well solved. 6. Next day I was told my round didn’t go as well and they are even cancelling the other rounds. There was no precise feedback which is anyway not expected. I communicated that according to the process I was told that all the rounds would happen and then a decision would be taken. 7. They ridiculed that. To me it was the case of strong personal bias where interviewer preferred other candidates because of his alumni or for other reasons or strongly did not like me. To avoid personal biases usually organisations do parallel rounds at senior level and take a decision based on cumulative feedback. In hindsight, it’s good it didn’t happen. Better to join a merit based organisation then biased and politics led.
