Software Engineer interview at Microsoft: respectful recruiter screen

Microsoft·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026

The recruiter screen was prompt and professional. The recruiter explained the role, asked about my background, and clarified expectations, so the conversation did what an early fit check should do.

I did not advance or receive an offer. The process felt clear and respectful, but the experience reminded me that an early screen can still be decisive even when the conversation goes well.

Location: United Kingdom. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
