Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Provo, Utah

March 1, 2018

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interviewer came to my university in Utah for a job fair. I don't know what his deal was though, because he acted too important to talk to any of the students at his booth.

They scheduled an interview with me, and then the guy acted totally disinterested the whole time. I don't think he was even listening to my answers. He got up and was walking around as if he had to pee during my interview.

I wish I had reached out to Microsoft and complained about him. Overall, such a bad experience.
