A very interesting, challenging experience here

Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Former Employee

Seattle, Washington, United States

Pros: There are the best, smartest computer scientists here, developing the most exciting and robust software in the world using cutting-edge technology.

Cons: Microsoft gives software developers a lot of personal freedom over both the work and the work environment. I order my own supplies, customize my office as I see fit, schedule my own trips and meetings, and select my own training courses. I choose when I show up for work and when I leave, and what to wear while I'm there. I can eat on campus or off, reheat something from home in the kitchen or scavenge leftovers from meetings. I can even work remotely from home (within reason).
