My friend was impacted by the layoffs at Microsoft. One of the senior recruiters at Microsoft informed my friend that they have been instructed to focus on recruiting for open roles externally as the cream is in the market and preferably ignore those who got impacted by layoffs at Microsoft. It is just very sad that a big company such as Microsoft does not value its own employees and trust their hiring process. TC: $180k #layoffs #microsoftlayoffs
Wow!
Atrocious
Nothing new...Apple does this too.
That story seems pretty suspect given that there's been clear communications that the focus is on hiring internally. I would question your friend and that information...or I question you if making this up is your way of trying to find out information. Just ask 🙄
Thank you for your comment. My intention was to share what my friend heard first hand. I do not benefit from making this up and there is a difference between an official statement vs truth. I'll leave it at that
Yeah right "clear communication" lol. I have a bridge to sell you.
Meta RL sent me an offer letter one day after Zuck announced the 2nd round of layoff. Yesterday I received my new Mac and iPhone from Meta which is the same day they laid of 4000 Engineers from Meta lol.
MSFT is way too large to generalize. I have heard some managers saying exact opposite. Trying to fill with internal talent...
If anyone at Microsoft hiring for SDE 1/2 , please let me know. 2 yoe backend SWE here. Have a wide range of skills and techs under my belt.
