Question 1
Design an internal tool for team knowledge transfer and communication
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY)
Interview
Phone interview was great. Made it to an in person interview and was excited. In person (all day interview) was cancelled the afternoon before with no reason given. Was told they will reschedule and never heard back. Not the professionalism I am looking for in a new career and I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a company this size is so unorganized with the hiring process.
