0 / 300 This comment might be shown publicly, but there will never be any way to identify or attribute it to you. Please keep your feedback constructive.
Inclusive hiring approach was quite evident and Hiring Manager was super helpful with me as a candidate
They were all personable people who quickly listened to my background and placed me where I need to be within the company (role different than what I interviewed for)
Interviewers are empathetic and are not there to trick you
Good question but folks would like to hear only thing which they want to
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Communication! There is a lack comms during the interview process
Select via standard interview questions. Stop taking people just be recommendation and backdoor
Be more transparent about the culture of rewards and compensation. More based on popularity than pure individual contribution.
Review from Sales Dept
Microsoft needs to drop its practice of discriminating in hiring based on demographic. At Microsoft each interview pool must contain a certian number of people based on demographic and hiring managers must justify why they arwnt hiring a "diverse" candidate,
MS likes to have interviews back to back (4-5) and does not let the interviewer know what they covering
Review from Sales Dept
It was slow and communication is poor. It's the worst thing about Microsoft and needs an overhaul.
Review from Product Dept
Be more aware of diverse backgrounds and the value they can bring. Some of the long time managers in Microsoft have poor awareness and they dont therefore know how to be inclusive of diverse backgrounds
Stop white-boarding in interviews if the candidate already has a track-record.
Stop white-boarding. Rely more on experience and track record.
Review from Engineering Dept
The interview process can be quite long
The interview process at Microsoft is very slow and inconsistent
Review from Customer Support Dept
There should be some kind of program to help you transition between organizations. Right now, it's up to you to do all of the work, make extra time for informationals and interviews, and you're not able to drop a level or two if you want to change careers paths.
