I had a 30-minute screening phone call. It was the worst interview I ever experienced.

I feel the interviewer had unrealistic expectations. As a POC in CS, I know the bar is high. However, the practices at Microsoft make it clear to me that they don't care about our presence in the room to make decisions that have an impact on my community.

The way they recruit is designed to find almost perfect engineers, which often means white and Asian candidates. Congratulations on not moving forward with a better system that accounts for different backgrounds and experiences during your hiring process.
