HR called and scheduled an interview. I requested that it be scheduled for a few days later, but HR replied, "No, you have to take at least one interview tomorrow." I was a little surprised by the rude response but said okay.

On the day of the interview, nobody joined the call. After a day and a half, HR called and said, "Since nobody took the interview, we will reschedule it." There was no courtesy to inform me beforehand.

Two rounds were scheduled on different days. However, the first round was postponed again. The second round happened as scheduled; it was nothing extraordinary, just casual questions.

On the day of the first round (which had already been rescheduled three times), a different HR called just five minutes before the call and said the interview was cancelled. She did not give a clear reason, mumbling something about leadership or decisions in a very low voice. I was also unsure if it was some kind of prank, as this HR was not the one who originally scheduled the interview.

Anyway, I didn't feel like checking with the original HR. After this sequence of events, I concluded that Microsoft has a worst kind of work culture even at the interview stage. It took three or four people just to schedule the interview, and even that didn't happen properly. God knows how this company is working, or if it's like this only in India.

All easy questions related to work.
