Process
When you are applying to companies like Microsoft, be prepared. Don't go with half-hearted knowledge and practice. Command over data structures and algorithms is a must. Generally, after so many years in a job, people tend to get away from hands-on coding, but that is a must in these types of companies.

Great Benefits, deep flaws
Software Development Engineer • Former Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
June 29, 2015
Pros: Microsoft has excellent benefits, far beyond the substantial salary they provide, along with largely supporting excellent causes.
Cons: Microsoft absolutely does not care about entry-level employees. As a whole, the company is extremely nepotistic, and upper management is completely unwilling to be critical of themselves or their subordinates. Ultimately, the solidity of ideas and data are simply proxies for interpersonal battles, with the actual ideas being unobserved.
