Recently completed a phone screen where a Senior developer from the Azure team reached out directly ( no recruiter involved), and scheduled the screen for the next day. The interview was pretty basic so went well but then I got ghosted. It's been 4 weeks and no response ( even after 2 follow ups).

After the second week I learned a friend went though a similar experience where a Senior developer phone screened them and ghosted.

Curious if there's some sort of hiring freeze or this is how it is with MSFT in general?

    It’s highly unusual for engineers to reach out directly for interviews without a recruiter being involved. DM me.

    Very similar to my current situation. I interviewed with the hiring manager and she asked me if I would be interested to go to an onsite interview. I was super happy and I obviously agreed to go to the onsite.

    Since then I have been emailing them and nothing...I see my position is still active in their Action Center but no word from the team.

    No, It happened to me as well.
    Senior developer reached out, took phone screen. 2 days later HR pinged asking for details and available dates.
