Microsoft folks, is it normal to have a recruiter say you did great on the interview loop, give you a verbal offer, get you a team match, then ghost you? Ps: the process took more than 4 months!!

I no longer want to join Microsoft, but is there a way to submit a complaint regarding what happened?

I thought about writing a Linkedin post about it but I do not want my current manager to know I’m interviewing outside yet.

Yeesh. Why not just follow up with the recruiter?

Unfortunately, I’ve heard of similar stories at many big tech companies.

I'm currently going through this right now with Microsoft. Went through four interviews. Got a verbal offer and found a team for me to be apart of but updates have been very slow. I have gotten two updates out of the last three weeks and was told I should be moving forward this week but still haven't heard anything.

Haha same here. Don't want to drop any names here but I'm also curious.
