Work-life balance at Microsoft is emphasized. The work is challenging. There are smart people everywhere you look. You'll learn a time-tested system of engineering practices.
Upper management has yet to prove that they can adapt to the changing market. The company is getting older and less exciting than some of its competitors.
Encourage more creativity from all levels and positions. There are many, many smart people here, and a few of them probably have great ideas. We should allow everyone the opportunity to express them and see them through when appropriate.
Pretty standard. I only had the phone interview so far, and it was pretty relaxed. Make sure you are prepared to answer questions about previous employment and any coding you do outside of school or work.
The interview was scheduled online and lasted about 30 minutes. Questions focused on Microsoft products. At the end, the HR representative asked me to solve a sorting algorithm, with no specific programming language required.
The first round is an online test with two coding questions, followed by two technical rounds and one HR round. The technical rounds will consist of questions from algorithms and your CV.
