Process
I spoke with a recruiter for about 30 minutes, and then they scheduled me for a final three-hour interview. It consisted of three interviews of 45 minutes each, with a 15-minute break in between. The interview consisted of the following sections:
- Digital Transformation
- Technical Acumen
- Business Acumen

Cloud Solution Architect • Former Employee
Espoo, Finland
October 17, 2023
Pros: Very high morale on business ethics and also treating employees extremely well (paid days to take care of sick kids, etc., etc.). Market leader and winner in most of the different areas. Well-known brand.
Cons: It's a huge organization, so there's a lot of bureaucracy built in. And there are very many people who have been working for MS for decades. Those people pretty often do not understand the world outside of MS. As well, there are still some people with an old approach, like "we are the monopoly and Windows is the one."
