Process
The interview process consisted of a screening round and four rounds in the loop.
I cleared all the rounds and was selected. The recruiter called me and discussed the offer.
After the offer was given, I asked for a discussion with the hiring manager. Then, the hiring manager sent an email stating I was not selected.
I lost the value I had in Microsoft.
