Nice benefits. Some orgs can be slow-paced for ease of stress, or Azure, which is a constant death march.
Extremely toxic political environment.
People are always fighting over ownership.
There is another team in Microsoft doing exactly what you are, and you'll clash over them.
Lots of reorgs.
Horrible open source software policy (It's gotten better, but still horrible).
I applied for the Sr. Software Engineer position in the Azure group and received a call within a month. The recruiter arranged a phone interview, which consisted of a couple of technical questions that I answered perfectly within an hour. Everything
A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn and set up phone interviews with three different groups. Two groups wanted to bring me on-site for a final interview. **On-Site Interview with Group #1:** The hiring manager openly expressed his desire to hire
I applied via the employee referral process. After a phone call with the Dev Lead, I managed to fly to Redmond. It was a three-round interview loop in one day, and on the second day, I received an offer.
