Process
Apparently, a system error caused all on-campus interview results from my school to be lost.
Microsoft then ghosted everyone and moved on.
Recruiters won't even answer emails to tell us what happened; we had to find out ourselves.
If Microsoft is going to act like this, they are not welcome back at our school.
