I submitted my resume online, and a hiring manager also received it through an internal referral.

The first interview was with someone who clearly had not slept enough. The interviewer was very disoriented.

I was brought in about six minutes before the scheduled end time. The interview only lasted a few minutes because we started late, and the interviewer forgot. He checked the clock a few minutes into our conversation and realized it was already time for his next interview.

The second interview was supposed to be by phone. I never received the call on my phone or Skype (which was a backup). In other words, it was an interviewer no-show.

Microsoft's recruitment process has been a complete waste of my time. I have never dealt with such incompetence from any other company's recruitment team. This experience has ruined my excitement to work with a company I once thought highly of and held in great respect.

Clearly, this unfortunate series of unprofessional interviewers is not the standard, but I still feel that any interview experience should be represented here.
