Process
I applied through a referral and online.
After submitting my application, I received a take-home exercise. It was a simple API exercise in GoLang or Ruby on Rails. I had no prior experience with either language and chose Go.
I passed the take-home interview.
Questions
In the take-home exercise, I was asked to build a simple RESTful API using Go or Ruby.

Great Remote, Poor Hr
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
August 16, 2023
Pros: Good remote life benefits, education, and work-from-home stipends are quite generous.
Remote working is encouraged for most teams, which is increasingly rare these days.
Cons: HR is nonexistent and unresponsive. It's the worst HR team I have ever seen in my working career, who seem to be rejects from Microsoft.
SLT seems inexperienced and coasting, unable to reach the goals set forth by Microsoft.
Remote working is great, but if you want to meet in person in a location outside SF or Bellevue, it might be difficult or impossible. The team travel budget has been slashed after a recent layoff.
