Process
It was an onsite interview. I applied through the career fair.
There were two interviews, and both interviewers were very nice. The second interview was more about writing really efficient code.
Questions
General questions on DP in both interviews.

Still great to work for
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
March 10, 2018
Pros: Super competitive pay, nice perks. Though at least in Seattle, we don't really have similar perks (discounts for lots of shops and tourism places) as Microsoft. Nice building and great, great free food and high-quality drinks. Smart people around you, interesting projects always.
Cons: High pressure and relatively bad work-life balance. But most people may not care that much since the pay is good enough.
Also, as the company grows, you start seeing some toxic colleagues here and there.
In terms of benefits, I am wondering when we will have 401k matching to the up limit ($9000).

Cutthroat GenAI/Engineering Culture
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
