If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
Hello folks, My first time posting here! I had a phone screen with Microsoft hardware team 3 weeks ago. I got an invite from the recruiter 2 days after the phone screen for a virtual onsite interview. I had to fill up a questionnaire regarding my job expectations and relocation details, references etc. After I sent my response I have not heard back for 2 weeks now on any update on the next steps. Is this normal ? Should I send an email requesting the status on hiring process ? I think the team might have gone impacted by a hiring freeze or maybe Microsoft is usually a little slow with responding. Thoughts ? #microsoft #hardware #interview
The msft recruiter I was working with told me they're entering a hiring freeze
Im glad your recruiter gave you an update !
I interviewed last week and the recruiter told me they needed to get the offer in the system before Friday because of a hiring freeze starting soon
All tech companies are modeling a much deeper negative growth impact at least until Q1'21. Therfore short term there are belt tightening measures. Hiring should pick up in Q4'20 based on current situation. However things may change downhill from here as well.
Microsoft recruiters are the worst
They don't reply.
I agree. Most unprofessional recruiter I have ever seen.
Mine is more bad situation. They took my virtual interviews of 4 rounds 3.5 weeks before and nobody responding on feedback. Recruiters are slient after few reminder emails of asking feedback. I am not sure i am on hold or dropped for that job role
That sucks:( I noticed the job I applied for is not taking any more application on the online portal. I am guessing Microsoft hardware has undergone some kind of hiring freeze.
raleigh site?
There must be a hiring freeze
Can you check your online status? Sometimes they just update the portal.
Portal i never understood. I applied for few jobs an year ago and still they showing under review. Not sure they really consider someone who apply through portal. For current job it is showing "Interview"
I see. Two weeks is a bit long. U should follow up with the recruiter. Things are slow these days since WFH.
Microsoft has hiring freeze
Just email recruiter
I think that’s a brilliant idea.
They don’t respond.
Is this in Raleigh, NC?
What is the situation like in Raleigh, NC do you know?
I guess almost hardware org. has hiring freeze or the position put on hold.
Why? I mean understand the obvious but why hardware specifically
It's not HW specific. It's company-wide.
