That is not entirely true. I am middle-aged, and their recruiters ping me periodically to see if I am interested in leaving Microsoft to come there.

I would agree that there can be a subtle form of age discrimination at some companies. I have definitely seen it at Microsoft, although the interview system there is designed to try and minimize the ability for one person's bias to exclude (or include) a candidate. People make decisions based on their personal beliefs, right or wrong, and there is no way to ever make that entirely fair (or even to say what "fair" is).
