Interview
Got reached out by design manager - had a phone screen with them - got put in touch with recruiter for next steps. This is where things became terrible. The recruiter took forever to book a virtual onsite interview and when booked, they kept rescheduling until they didn't get back to me with a specific date. They ignored my emails for awhile and then after i sent my last email, they told me they had filled the position
This has to be one of the worst recruitment experience especially since i didn't even apply, they reached out to me. Do better Microsoft

It was an hour long interview for me to present my portfolio. I created an entire slide deck tweaked to microsoft design theme.

The interviewer was friendly and kept it like a discussion and asked good questions related to the portfolio.
