Entrevista
The worst interviewing process, they contact me in LinkedIn, I respond that I was interested, they reply me with 10 questions on my inbox, so I answered them and later on the week they send me an invitation for the OTS (Online Technical Screening). I show up 5 minutes early and no one attended the meeting. I wait for an hour, and sent a couple of mails, and nothing happened. One week later they show up tellingbme that the position was closed for LATAM, that he could transfer me to a job position in other team that could hire someone from LATAM, and that he would send me the OTS next day. I'm still waiting, I sent emails but no response, a complete waste of time and the discouragement of being stood up

I got call via microsoft HR. She informed there will be 4 rounds of technical interviews all eliminator. Round 1 interview was a mid level graph question. The interviewer was actively involved, understood my logic, approach, challneged my assumeptions, did a dryrun at end, good experience. Round 2 inteviewer was extremely lazy and passive. It was a bad experience. He gave a problem statement of sliding window and disappeared. Wasn't intrested in hearing approach or even reading code. He came after 30 minutes , did a dry run and final output wasn't exactly correct. I identified a logical bug and started correcting it. He said there is no need , just finished the interview after that. The code i had written was optimal code but he didn't care to read that also. And there was still 20 minutes left. It gave me impression that interviewer in not at all interested in taking interview and they have been pushed my management. HR called next day to say i am not selected.
