Best non-FANG Tech Company to work for
Best non-FANG Tech Company to work for
Great company but just shy of FANG until you move up the ranks.
Great work-life balance.
Awesome variety in challenges, with the ability to swap between Azure, Xbox, VR/AR, Windows, Office, etc.
Smart colleagues.
Pretty awesome managers, with only one dud.
Tons of perks.
Reliable company that supports its products and has growth in every group.
- Some roles can be boring until you find your niche.
- Some mediocre managers, not malicious, but not up with the times in terms of flexible schedules, WFH, etc.
- Lower pay than FANG, so you often wonder if it's worth jumping ship.
Keep up the good work. Keep standards high. Keep supporting your people. Raise total comp.

Based on the recruiter's email, I was expecting the conversation to include questions around my C++ coding skills and prior experience relevant to the role, and LeetCode-style coding in C++. However, the discussion only focused on the hiring manager
Senior Software Engineer
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.
