Great place to work - just don't get obsessed with promotion velocity
Great place to work - just don't get obsessed with promotion velocity
Great work-life balance compared to other high-profile Seattle tech companies.
Collaboration between business units can be hard.
Cool the pressure for everyone to get promoted faster than the previous person.
The newest crop of college hires are nearly starting to refuse to do work unless it's a promotion obtainer for them.
We've got to fix the culture such that all work is important enough for promotion.

Microsoft Interview Experiences
Principal Software Engineering Manager
The interview experience was pretty bad. One interview went on for a long time, with questions that weren't relevant to the new role. After the interview, the team didn't get back to me for a long time. They only responded after I asked for feedback

This was a negative and, for me, a worst experience with MS. In general, MS interviews and their process are always good, inspiring, and a benchmark. However, this time it seemed a little unprofessional and predetermined.

I had four rounds of technical interviews, followed by a hiring manager round. The questions were mostly around designing solutions, and the interviewers focused on what the candidate knew rather than what was missing, which was really good.
