Hey all,

I completed a virtual interview with Microsoft for a Principal PM position three weeks ago (four teams calls) and I think it went fairly well. I sent thank you emails the next day to the hiring manager and the recruiter, no responses. I sent the recruiter a follow-up email after two weeks with no response. The action center is still stuck on 'Interview'.

Is this normal? I know these things can take some time, but I was hoping to at least get an update from the recruiter, even if it's just that they are still interviewing candidates.

Thanks!

    This happened to me too but then I got the job. I’m told they have to interview multiple people before they extend an offer.

      I followed up once and the recruiter said they’d get back to me in a week or so. I would just ask the recruiter for an update and he’ll likely let you know when the decision will be made by.

      I've asked for an update twice and no response. I actually thought about emailing the hiring manager but that seems like a stretch. It's about to be four weeks since the interview and nothing, pretty frustrating. I don't have a deadline to make a decision until April because I have another interview lined up, maybe let the recruiter know I have a deadline?

    What does the job req say online? Does it say no longer considering applications?

    I had the exact same experience. I thought I did really well in my interviews and the HM even indicated that he really wants to hire me. But yet, it’s 1 months after mg final round, still nothing. I followed up with the recruiter 3 times without anything. So I’m assuming that’s a no? Very frustrating experience. They at least can let me know..

      From next time, I think it’s better if we state it in the first recruiter call that we don’t want to wait forever after the on-site (if we go there) and get it in writing that they won’t keep us waiting and give the results within a week or two. It might sound stupid but can be doable if we are searching casually and there’s no urgent need to switch.

      Amazon is miles ahead in this regard.

    Microsoft is like a for loop without a break; or return; when they find a match. It doesn’t matter if they find a good candidate that meets their criteria.They want to iterate over all available candidates and then make a decision. So you have to wait till they are done with everyone else.
