Still have interesting places and people inside, but time to leave
Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
June 27, 2013
Pros: There are a lot of smart people. Even if it has been diluted recently, if you are in the right team doing the right thing, it is still a fairly decent learning experience.
Cons: Pretty much everything else, but the worse thing is probably NIH-ism (Not Invented Here).
Many people, especially those who joined right after college, know very little about what's going on in Silicon Valley and why Microsoft is greatly lagging behind.
