I went through a Microsoft hiring drive and the experience after interviews was extremely disappointing.
Once the interviews were done, there was complete silence—no update, no rejection, nothing.
Even after multiple follow-ups asking for a simple yes/no, there was no response.
Candidates put in significant time and effort preparing for these rounds, and the lack of even basic communication feels disrespectful.
Not expecting detailed feedback, just a simple closure.
For a company like Microsoft, this level of candidate experience is honestly surprising and unacceptable.
