Microsoft Work Experiences

Great people, old tools

Intern Software Developer • Former Employee

Seattle, Washington, United States

Pros: Lovely team, and a supportive manager and mentor. Learned a lot and grew both as a developer and a person. Good pay and location.

Cons: Internal tooling is a bit of a letdown if you are used to Linux development. Learning old tools that were on the way out took a significant amount of time. More things were broken than expected.

Good benefits. Competition over acknowledgment was noticeable, in my opinion

Software Engineer II • Former Employee

October 28, 2025

Pros: Good benefits, health care, and work-life balance.

Cons: Cross-group communication could improve, and cross-team communication as well. Sometimes, it felt like employees competed against each other for acknowledgment ("my features, my presentation, my impact..."), rather than as a group with a shared goal. Considerable aspects of the product were not documented. In my opinion, documentation was generally lacking.
