MS came to my school in a career fair. I chatted with a guy, who was an alumnus of my school, and submitted my resume. About a week later, I was contacted for an on-campus interview. I thought I did well when the interviewer said I was the first one that solved the problem and wrote clean code. The problem was easy for me. Then, we chatted a little bit about his team and his work. The interviewer said I should hear back in two to three weeks.

I went home and waited for a call, but didn't hear anything after one to two months. I tried to email the recruiter who arranged the interview several times, but she never replied. Because I won a programming competition hosted by MS, someone from MS sent me the reward, and I took that chance to ask and received a typical rejection letter, which I anticipated. I would say that the recruiters had done a good job in damaging the image of MS.
