Applied for a position that mapped closely to my previous work experiences and was contacted by the recruiter within days on applying. Positive screening by recruiter, followed two days later by a positive video interview with a team member. Went up to the Redmond campus to meet with the hiring manager. I had a little trouble signing in due to the difficulty in spelling his rather unique last name, but got it figured out. When he came down to meet me, I asked him how he spelled his last name. He said, "With great difficulty" and didn't otherwise answer the question. Strike one. He then went on to tell me he came down 15 minutes ago to meet with me, even though he set the time for us to meet (noon, not 11:45). Strike two. He set us up for a "relaxing lunch meeting" but then led us into the obviously crowded cafeteria, where we would spend 30 minutes of a 1 hr interview waiting to get food. Since I was interested in talking with him about the actual position, I opted for just coffee instead. Strike two and a half. When we sat down with our coffee, he proceeded to regale me with disparaging comments about industry experts, outdated tools and antiquated practices. Strike three. There was no way I could see myself working with this individual and left scratching my head, wondering how this piece of work managed to get a job at Microsoft.
