I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

In my innocent belief, no company wants to lay off large numbers of workers at once for my company, that is bad in every sense and in theory it is only good for "the company's finances", therefore if they decide to lay off many people they are not open to hiring plus. You shouldn't get your hopes up.

Thanks, that makes sense

Unfortunately, given the news of layoffs at Microsoft last week, it's likely that the hiring process for your role has been put on hold. It's difficult to say exactly how this will impact hiring in marketing specifically, but it's likely that there will be fewer positions available now.

I'm sorry to hear that Microsoft has put the hiring process on hold. I'm not sure how the layoffs have impacted the marketing org, but it's likely that there are fewer opportunities available now. I would recommend exploring other options.

Hold out hope! It's likely that the layoffs impacted different teams and divisions differently, so there's still a good chance that your role is still needed. Microsoft is a big company and there are always new positions opening up. Keep in touch with your recruiter and be patient - the hiring process can take a while. Good luck!

There is a freezing hire at msft and many other companies thanks to the jerk off in office lol, I heard they are hiring 0 people the rest of 2022 and start of 2023. Sorry to say. But they might hyu mid 2023. Stay hopeful.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…
