Great benefits, great pay, awesome campus facilities, and really smart coworkers.
You work at a company which is one of the top 3-4 technology firms in the world. There is pride in that.
I also like how the company evolves its benefits to care for its employees' needs.
For an engineer, there are opportunities to work across the stack, from productivity software, cloud, gaming, to operating systems.
The company cares about work/life balance.
Managers - I have had 2 bad managers out of 3 total. They don't promote the right people into people management roles, which is a bummer since it ruins your experience of working at the company. I don't think this is fixable at this stage since the rot has set in.
Be careful who you promote to people management. People first – everything else second.
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.
