Oddly, I had the exact opposite experience interviewing at Microsoft.
I blazed through all the questions the manager asked, and the manager told me I was the most talented person he'd ever interviewed and would definitely get the job, and then I didn't get the job, and got no further feedback. It was the most confusing interview process I'd ever been in.
I sent him to ask him if there was some sort of mistake, and he didn't even reply directly, just sent me back a message through the recruiter saying no, it wasn't a mistake.
- Afton 7y agoYeah, big company, lots of variation in the interview process. Ultimately, the hiring manager has final authority, but if someone came out strong against you for some reason, they might be loathe to override. But it does sound like a strange experience. Just consider it an anti-loop. (https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-google.html https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goo...)

- Zarel 7y agoIt was ten years ago so I don't remember. I don't remember anyone disliking me or anything, though.
