Web Application Developer Interview Experience - Tallinn, Estonia

March 1, 2021

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was declined as soon as I applied for the position. Despite Microsoft actively recruiting in the area, I didn't get to the screening interview. This is the first time this has happened in my 8 years of work experience.

I don't want to speculate, but I somehow feel that the Tallinn office is very picky about the nationality of an applicant.
