Last week, I had an interview scheduled with Microsoft, but I was on vacation at the time. I requested them to reschedule, and they initially agreed. However, they haven’t responded to my follow-up emails since then. What are your thoughts? Do you think there’s still a chance?

Would you continue interviewing with a hiring manager who reschedules at the last minute? (less than 10 minutes to the interview)

Context- A recruiter reached out, resume shortlisted and interview scheduled 3 days in advance but still interviewer asks for rescheduling at the very last minute!

Think about it- You put efforts to manage time & ensure availability in the middle of the week but interviewer can’t even manage 30 minutes for an interview?

Rescheduling interview at the last minute

Founder

I have been interviewing with Microsoft since late March 2024, possibly for an SE2 position.
There is no HR involved. Engineers/Managers from Washington and Hyderabad call me or email me and schedule my interviews.

Round 1 (Mar last week): Technical
Round 2 (Apr first week): Technical
Round 3 (Apr 2nd week): Technical
Round 4 (Apr last week): HM

Surpisingly, there is a round 5.
Round 5 (May second week): Technical/HM

My 5th interviewer said that there is going to be a 6th round of interview as well, by the manager of 5th interviewer. He also said, "Hoping that we will work together soon."

As of the date of writing this post, my 5th interview was almost 3 weeks ago. I asked my 5th interviewer for an update and I got a response saying:

"Sorry for the delayed response. I was so busy with many work items. At the moment we are on hold and we will reach out to you once we have the confirmation."

After my 3rd round of interview, there was a gap of 2 weeks as well, and upon aksing my 3rd round of interviewer about an update of my candidature, he told me something similar. It did upset me but I did have a 4th round as well.

Given Microsoft is hiring a lot right now, I feel confused why my candidature is on hold. I feel very frustrated and desperate for the offer.

Because I am new to this, I would appreciate if anyone here, can help me with their experience ,what could be going on?

PS: All my interviewes were extreamly well.

I was interviewed at Accenture last month and was informed, my skill round is through. They scheduled a managerial round for me but later cancelled. Then onwards I keep getting a call from them that they want to schedule my MR and I agree for whatever date they ask me to come. But they never send interview invite. I even called back the HRs and they keep saying we will check and reschedule. No response from their candidate query mail  also.

Interview at Accenture

I accepted an offer from Accenture
Now what is the next process, HR is not picking the call or responding to my mails.

And is it possible to prepone joining date.

Finally let me know is it better to join Accenture

Are there any Microsoft HRs here who can actually tell me why they are delaying ppo results to mid September? Isn't it too late???

Microsoft on campus hiring

I am from Tier-I CSE grad, working in startups since college. Not sure why, but never have my resume got shortlisted in MSFT and Amazon. I am not sure what they try to find in my resume, or whether they even look at it or not. One thing I am sure is I can crack their interviews 4 out of 5 times.  I have even cold-emailed managers and recruiters but they don't even reply. Any suggestions?

How to get interview calls from Microsoft/Amazon?

Product Manager

Hey,

So I completed my prelims round @google , cleared it
completed 3/5 and its been almost 10 days - haven't heard back from my recruiter.

I have just one point of contact, so feeling kinda helpless as to whom I can reach out to.
Like i followed up thrice now over a period of one week - very respectfully.

I mean its my dream role and honestly, every day not getting any response is honestly painful - even If I didn't make it - At least I should hear back right? and I understand the number of applications must be extremely high - but still the process should be somewhat smooth right? Its Google after all.

Any suggestions on how to tackle the above situation?

Google APM India 2024 Role - Not getting a response from recruiter

Hi peeps, 

Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. 

I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. 

Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!

Uber, Zepto, Msft (DS team) and Walmart are aggressively hiring

Consultant

I'm saying this because Microsoft has posted more than 240 software engineering jobs in India in just the last month, bringing the total to 547 software engineering jobs in India alone. However, despite this large number of job postings, I haven't seen a single new employee announcement on LinkedIn for any of these positions.

Does nobody want to join Microsoft, or what?

Is Microsoft posting fake jobs in India

This began in June 2023 when I received an opportunity to interview with Eventbrite. I received the online assessment link and submitted it. However, after that, I was ghosted by HR. In February 2024, I applied again, and HR called me to discuss the opportunity. HR asked me to call him the next day if I was interested further in the process. When I called him the next day, he didn't pick up, and after 2 minutes, I received a rejection email. HR could have picked up and just told me the reason for rejection.

I have applied multiple times at msft with/without referral but never heard back, is there a lottery system or something random about screening process?

After how many days of referral one can expect a call from msft?

One of the recruiter reached out on mail , OA was done.
She was supposed to schedule interviews in starting on October, but now it seems she just ghosted me. 
She isn’t responding on mails, tried to reach out on LinkedIn but in vain.
Very frustrating.

I recently gave interview with Uber and completely case study round. It’s been 15 days and o haven’t heard from the recruiter yet. No response to calls or emails.

Am I still in considered? How should I proceed forward?

Anyone gave uber SPM interview ?

Hi guys,
I am getting calls from recruiters starting last week and most of them are asking whether they can schedule an interview the next day?
I am currently in a super hectic different tech stack project.  I need 2-3 days or a week to be ready na?

How do I convince the recruiters to have it after a few days not the next day or day after?

Convincing recruiters to schedule interviews slightly delayed!

I have been trying to get one chance to appear for interview process in Microsoft. From my 1st year of engineering and even after 1 yoe i am working , i have been applying every year with referral and without referral  but never got chance .
So what should be done so that i get a chance to appear for Microsoft? give your inputs please

To the people of Microsoft

In past few days on linkedin i got ping from couple of microsoft recruters, saying we found your profile may be perfect fit for an opening at microsoft...bla bla , please share your cv .
Once i shared my cv there is no reply from them .
Total time waste. 
All hr recruiters have good profile on linkedin and not replying once you share cv .

Looks like their managers given them target to  collecting cv.
