I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Provo, UT)
Interview
I was contacted by in their recruiters on LinkedIn and was enlarged to apply for one of their positions! Once I did that they asked me to schedule a phone interview. I talked with the recruiter over the phone and frankly I felt like he made his decision before even giving me the chance to talk about what I want to do in my career. I explained that at my current job I am doing 70% testing 30% and that even though I really enjoy testing I am very willing and open to software egineering! I felt like he based his decision on that and that in my upionion is unfair. He sent me an online assessment which I did super well on, but unfortunately they decided to go with other applicatant. In their email they encouraged to reach out to my recruiter with any questions I may have. Because I knew did well on their assesmet, I wanted to understand where my application was lacking so that I can improve for future opportunities. This is why I sent an email thanking him for his time and the opportunity to interview and to ask him where my application was lacking. It’s been almost two weeks now and my I stil haven’t gotten a respond. I believe that the courtesy to respond to an email I was encourage to send to begin with should be there. I felt like because I wasn’t offered the job they also implied that I wasn’t deserving of a response to my email. This is why I am giving the interview a thumbs down! Everything else went great!
