Process
A coordinator performed scheduling to accommodate my schedule, and each interviewer explained next steps.
The interviews were good, with open-ended questions, and they always left time to ask questions.
The only negative experience was how long it took between interviews and to get a final response.

Microsoft Work Experiences
- 4.0Difficult to Review during Global PandemicSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesMarch 24, 2021Pros: Great freedom. Felt safe during the pandemic. Management is always looking to improve diversity and inclusion.Cons: As a new employee, it's difficult to swim in the Microsoft culture if you don't have direction and someone helping you meet the "right" people. It seems like every day there is a re-org, and it's challenging to know how to make an impact. This isn't good, as bonus is based on making a significant impact. I feel like my talents are being wasted without being given opportunities to succeed.
