I was contacted by a recruiter. She led me to believe that she worked at Microsoft. That was not true.

I came to find out that a "v-" in front of the email address means vendor.

I was asked standard technical questions and some problem-solving questions. I spoke about my experience and education. I did not answer the "weird" problem-solving questions. I would encourage others to do the same.

I spoke with many non-native English speakers. The in-person interviews were fine. Once again, I did not do the "mind game" questions.

As potential employees, you can set the stage; you have power. I told one person that I was not going down that road; he did not understand.

Microsoft complains that it can't find people but treats people poorly.

Talk about a black box, something like that.

Some jQuery questions.
