Process
Local interview in Bogotá offices. The interviewer was very helpful and generally nice. Nothing too remarkable, but I'm supposed to go on a second round of interviews in Argentina if this goes well. I'm still waiting to hear about them.

Pros: - Access to smart people
- Decent benefits
- Safe job
- Great for your career if you know how to kiss ass
Cons: You have to kiss ass.
Overloaded with work at any given time.
It's not a 9-5 job. It's a lifestyle. You work 24/7 in most teams.
Teams like Bing have constant reorgs. I know people who've had between 3-6 managers a year for 5 years straight.
Online services has the worst work-life balance.
Review system is horrible. Peer review is a way to bring your peers down.
