I was invited for a coding test for a Bing hiring event. I passed that and was invited to fly to Seattle for an onsite.

I cannot even begin to explain the pathetic nature of the interviews. Sixteen candidates were brought in from all over and given rooms, and the interviewers went around interviewing each one of them.

I had a horrible experience with the first interviewer. He was laughing in a mocking way when I was on the wrong track for a particular question. He cut me off in the middle when I was giving answers, and when I was on the wrong track for a question, he said, "Not you could have... you should have. You can't work at Microsoft if you can't come up with solutions." When his phone rang loudly in the middle of the interview, he didn't even bother to apologize and let it ring for some time. He also wished me and said, "I hope your other interviews go better than this one";)

The fourth interviewer seemed super disinterested too. He kept chatting with someone while I was whiteboarding.

The entire experience was really off for me. I cannot imagine Microsoft allows such unprofessional interviewers to interview candidates who have flown many miles to attend their interviews.

I will definitely never interview with Microsoft ever again.

All basic LeetCode questions, nothing interesting.
