Process
I received a phone call from a recruiter at Microsoft who asked if I was ready to interview. They scheduled an interview call at my convenience.
The interviewer was neutral and supportive, though it seemed they were calmly judging everything.

SDE 1 @ Microsoft
SDE 1 • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 24, 2025
Pros: - Strong starter compensation
- Rotation options and learning culture
- Balanced hybrid setup, most teams ask for 2–3 days a week on campus
Cons: - Process heavy. Every feature flows through design reviews, security sign-off, partner team alignment, then staged rollout.
- Promotion bottlenecks. Level jump from 59/60 (SDE I) to 61 (SDE II) is supposed to happen in 18–24 months, but depends heavily on getting a “scope-stretch” project and a manager who will champion it.
