Time line on microsoft offer ?

Feb 24 76 Comments

How long does it take to hear back from the recruiter after verbal discussion on pay and levels ? It's been more than a week now. I wrote an email to the recruiter but received no response.

      Wow that recruiter must be new joinee. They don't know how Microsoft operates!

      I interviewed in September and joined MS in March, can you believe that?

  • Microsoft recruiters are the worst. They take forever to setup meetings with hiring manager and with candidates. Most recruiters are overloaded with tons of requisition they are working on at once, most of the work if outsourced to vendors who don't give a f**k to candidate experience and are simply incompetent. I know recruiter friends who will not want to come work for Microsoft even if it was the last place on earth to work, it is that slow. I personally called a recruiter and asked her to expedite the process for a friend who was also interviewing at Facebook and the recruiter said they cannot go as fast as FB ... So they gave up even before trying. A combination of lack of motivation and incompetent recruiters is the main reason why we suck at hiring the best. Add to it, our competitors win by $$$ offers that we are unable to beat most of the times. If Microsoft could 'hit reset' on our Global Talent Acquisition team and bumped up the compensation to stay competitive (for new hires and current employees), we have the best technology and culture to hire and retain the best.

    Can anyone tell me the timeline from full loop to verbal offer? I completed my full loop at Microsoft last Friday and I thought overall it went pretty well.
