J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft
Entretien
I have a screening 30 minute phone call. The worst interview I ever had. I feel like the interviewer had unrealistic expectations. I am a POC in CS and I know the bar is high, but the practices at Microsoft make it clear for me that they don't care about us being present in the room to make decisions that have an impact on my community. The way they recruit is designed to get almost perfect engineers, which are often white and asian. Congrats of not moving forward with a better system that accounts for different backgrounds and different experiences during your process.
