I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2025
Interview
TA Inverview: Had to submit three pages of pre-interview question answers via email and then had the screening interview, Then many weeks later told a new TA was working it and did another screening interview. So that's 2 screening interviews plus the offline screening submission. Moved to next round of 3 x 1:1 virtual interviews. Then ghosted. Finally saw in their system the job is closed, but did not even get the generic email so was very much ghosted.
