Scale, Problems, Autonomy Good
Microsoft is great.
I left to learn more from another company, but [it offered] huge scale, hard problems to solve, pretty good autonomy, and relatively few barriers to success.
I would work there again.
Charter conflicts still happen. Some processes are burdensome. The review process is a little cumbersome and at times feels a little artificial, but generally you can "do the right thing".
Try to increase transparency and consistency of the review system and reduce process.

It was one round, two interviews: one technical and one behavioral. It took about a month to get the interview request and a week to hear back. The behavioral round also had some minimal technical questions.
