International Project Engineer
International Project Engineer
Overall diverse responsibilities and always opportunity to work with the smartest people. I learned a lot.
High ethical values and standards.
Some established processes are not conforming with industry standards. This makes it too much of a closed environment. Silos are also hard to break.
Middle management is always in competition.
Try to be aligned with trends outside the company. Microsoft is not everything. Also, put more effort into employee development and career growth.

SWE Intern
Had 3 interviews focused on LeetCode-style problems. The questions were quite easy; one was about dynamic programming, and some other questions were about linked lists. They were Easy/Medium difficulty. Each interview was around 45 minutes long.
Software Engineer
I got the invitation link, completed and passed every test case successfully, but surprisingly received a rejection the following week without any clear explanation, even though my performance met all expectations.
Software Development Engineer (SDE) II
The onsite consisted of two system design questions and two technical questions. These rounds were back to back and weren't actually ordered. I thought I was going to be doing technical first, but was hit with design at the start.
