Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your process for designing your sample work?
This is a long rigorous interview process where you have to present your portfolio and then speak to three different people for like an hour each. Ghosted for a couple months then told me I didn't get the job. I've gone through multiple interviews at this company like this.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)

Quick phone interview with a recruiter who found me on a job board. Very friendly interview with the hiring manager, which included a portfolio review. Then an interview with the team, who was also very friendly and welcoming.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2022
Interview
I applied, but there's no response. Then the hiring manager actually contacted me in LinkedIn asking me to apply. I told him that I did, but there's not response. He immediately said "oh, our recruiter will contact you". I did the interview after a while, but again no follow-ups.
After a month, I emailed the hiring manager, and again he simply said it's on the recruiter. So I contacted the recruiter, both through email and LinkedIn. She didn't reply my email but replied my LinkedIn and simply said "I'll call you for feedback". What does that even mean?
It's been a few weeks, until today, there's no call, they just leave me hanging and I can still see the position is open in LinkedIn.
