Process

It was quite good. Interviewers were friendly. My first-round interview started a little late, but the interviewer was really helpful. I received a call for a second interview after around 2 hours. The interviewer was a senior developer with 18 years of experience.

A Good Place for a Start

Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern • Former Employee

Redmond, Washington, United States

Pros: Great place for an internship. It allows you to get real-world experience and make a difference. The work is challenging and guided, while not being too stifling. HR works well with the interns, ensuring that they are taken care of. But with so many interns (and regular employees), "things" are bound to happen. While definitely not the best in the industry, the benefits are decent enough.

Cons: Too big. Small fish in a big pond complex. Sometimes you wonder how much you can climb. Some people may be arrogant, which can be a bit of a turnoff sometimes. And of course: the stigma of the evil empire.
