Process
I had one interview with them.
The interviewer was not bad. He asked some good questions, but he was a little unnerving when waiting for a response.
The questions tested knowledge of proper algorithm usage and knowledge of Microsoft products.

Software Developer • Current Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
January 25, 2014
Pros: Salary, bonuses, and growth opportunities in your area.
Cons: If you end up in the wrong team, it's possible you won't like others around you or be drowned in work. It is a highly competitive environment, and to succeed in it, you must love the game.
Ask yourself: if there is a choice to go to war or not, is your answer "yes"? And are you willing to lead it without backing down, even if you are bleeding?
If the answer is yes, you will succeed; otherwise, you might do better somewhere else. MS is a battlefield.
