      Data Center Technician Interview

      Jakarta
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Jakarta) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      when i first see this position posted with minimum high school degree required i was excited and think microsoft is probably take diversity really seriously and want to give a chance to people that unfortunate and can't continue their education but had good skillset. so i was applied to this role because this role is what i did for more than 5 years anyway. I got invited to interview and after finished the 2nd round i got ghosted for weeks, then i follow up to HM suddenly the job posting changed?? now it required to had bachelor degree! i won't had any problem if it was like that from the begining, i'm not gonna apply to it and waste both of our time because i know i don't had bachelor degree yet, even i know i could do this role with my experience, but to changed it in the middle of interview process is just plain RUDE to me, please STOP WASTE PEOPLE time. Diversity is just a word to you, i know but atleast RESPECT people time, i had to take a leave twice (for interview) for role that i didn't even know i wouldn't make it because the requirement changed! well it's not like any of you gonna read this anyway, so my point is if you're a bachelor degree go ahead, this is entry level job anyway as long as you prepared you definetly could do the interview, but if you aren't a bachelor even you had the skill to work here just don't, stop wasting your time and look for other companies that actually value your skill.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft (San Antonio, TX)

      Interview

      Brief, only a few technical questions. Most of the interview seemed very informal and was about getting to know me as a person. That being said, I was already familiar with the job scope as I was a vendor prior to the interview.
