The University Recruiter found me through the student database at my business school and reached out. After communicating my geographic constraints, she was able to find a position that fit my location needs as well as my past experience. I was scheduled for a behavioral phone interview with another recruiter 7 business days after that initial contact. 2 weeks later, I had another phone interview, this time a member of the team that I would be working with. Another 2 weeks afterwards, I was invited to fly onsite for a series of four 1:1 interviews with other members of the team. When I arrived, I was alerted that I would actually be having four 30-min interviews as well as an additional two 45-min interviews -- so 6 interviews in the span of 5 hours. Hiring decision was communicated via email after 5 days.

Interview with 3 or 4 peers as well as hiring manager. I was referred to roles that would value my business experience while not a direct fit for the sector. The tone of the interviews was very much that of "Pre-Satya" Microsoft. Condescending tone and clique mentality. Initially, the recruiter strung out the process and was very inattentive. Moving through the phone interviews, the peers were very club-ish and rather than being direct that there wasn't a skills match, the last interview with hiring manager was a no-show. Recruiter, again, made excuses but not authentic and still has not gotten back to me. I'm not disgruntled by the experience - these are facts. I think what Satya is doing to MSFT is a good thing but there are 20+ years of boys club mentality that still exists.
