First I was asked to complete a coding challenge. Then an interviewer read questions of a list that are very generic. The interviewer had no interest in me or even made eye contact. It was a horrible experience. Once the list was done, they ended the interview . No question was met with an answer. They just moved on immediately.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Provo, UT) in Mar 2018
Interview
The interviewer came to my university in Utah for a job fair. IDK what his deal was though because he acted too important to talk to any of the students at his booth. They scheduled an interview with me, and then the guy acted totally disinterested the whole time. I dont think he was even listening to my answers. He got up and was walking around like he had to pee during my interview.
I wish I had reached out to Microsoft and complained about him. Overall such a bad experience
The interview content is highly depend on which interviewer you encountered. The whole process is not consistent to all applicants. Some interviews resist people transferred their major to Computer Science. I won't apply for full time. It is just a waste of time.
