Pay is decent.
Benefits are good.
It's Microsoft, so it looks good on the resume, I think.
I feel like a contractor.
Work-life balance isn't good.
A top-down approach to product development.
Unrealistic deadlines.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. There were 5 interviews, and 4 of the interviewers were late. It was never acknowledged. The technical portions seemed to have specific solutions in mind rather than a discussion about approaches.
Three Data Science and Algorithm rounds were there. In each round, two questions of medium complexity were asked. After discussing the solution, I was asked to write the program. It was fine to use dummy code.
The process included four parts: an interview and offline coding tasks. After that, I had two meetings with dev managers before a final offer. Overall, the process was very pleasant, and most interviews turned into just talks.
