Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Luxembourg
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 days.
Interview was nice, I liked the team and office. The HR department was generally responsive and nothing raised any red flags. I didn't get the position afterwards anyways, but I think the whole hiring process seems to be fine as it is. Later I found they plan to relocate the office, but it is still going to be in moderate walking distance.

Microsoft Work Experiences
- 4.0Great... but only if *you* are greatSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesSeptember 15, 2015Pros: If you work really hard and make the right people like you, you might be one of the lucky few who get selected for BENCH/HiPo/Lab365. This is the fast-track to promotions, bonuses, and raises. Even if you don't, compensation is still pretty good.Cons: Working with other departments (e.g., Windows, Office, Exchange, etc.) is an absolute nightmare. Most cross-department coordination engineering meetings tend to end in rage, tears, or near-bloodshed. BENCH/HiPo/Lab365 status is the only way for compensation to be truly competitive with other top-tier companies like Google and Facebook.
- 5.0Not trying to destroy the planet!Senior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesDecember 31, 2020Pros: Get to contribute to software lots of folks use!Cons: Can be slow to get things done, given the sheer size of the company.
- 2.0Too many reorgsSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandSeptember 9, 2025Pros: I like The Garage: a maker zone to encourage creativity.Cons: Too many reorganizations, people leaving constantly. Low morale. The quality of work is very low. There is always an artificial rush to deliver projects.
