Campus interview.
Questions were basically on my resume, and I was asked about my interests in which area.

1.0
Good Food, Bad Culture
Hardware Engineer • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
January 3, 2020
Pros: Good location, easy to get good food.
Cons: I hate Microsoft's outsourcing culture. The FTE (full-time employee) looks down at you, thinking of you as cheap labor. Microsoft should lay off some of the seniors who haven't learned new things in years.
3.0
Overall a positive experience, but for a company that is rated one of the best places to work, I would expect better
Hardware Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: You meet some really smart people that care a lot about delivering a good product.
Cons: As big companies go, there are always some politics around. Some people only care about visibility, or how upper management views them, and one will need to work their way around these people.
