Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

The recruiter reached out to me, and I scheduled a phone screen. The technical phone round was not great. I struggled to come up with a clean solution. The next day, the recruiter emailed me and said that there is another team who is interested in my profile and then scheduled another technical phone round with them. This round was not good too. I did not come up with the solution I was asked. Through this whole process, the interviewers and recruiters were very friendly and helpful. A week later, the recruiter called me and said that my performance was not up to the mark and told me to contact her after 3 months after preparing some more. I was never this happy being rejected in any other interview. They really cared about the candidate, and my whole experience was really good. I really think Microsoft is doing a great job making sure that the candidates don't have a negative experience. I hope one day I get to work for this awesome company.
