Still some good people around, drawn in by the brand.
Work-life balance is very achievable — as long as you don’t care about growth in the “work” part.
Pay is decent, benefits quite good (not MSFT benefits though).
It’s full bore ahead on MSFT mediocrity in engineering leadership (both technical and people management) now. Bad ideas, poor execution, and unbelievable arrogance.
Product is an insane mess, and the lack of competence and leadership spills over onto engineering.
Absolutely no interest in hiring or retaining diverse teams.
Attrition is through the roof.
Entire leadership team has turned over in the past 3 months.
This isn’t the GitHub you’re looking for.
The hiring process included a take-home assignment, a pair programming session, a follow-up interview, a skip-level interview, and a DEI panel. The whole process took two weeks. Be prepared for systems design questions during the pair programming ex
There were two engineers. It was a LeetCode problem, followed by a questions and answer session on scalability and security. LeetCode-style coding problem (live coding, algorithm/data structures). Q&A discussion focused on scalability and security
The interview process was thorough. First, there was a data structure and algorithm session, followed by a system design interview, and last, a session with a program director. Each session thoroughly tested my experience with the technology stack R
