Microsoft is a great place to work, but it has its problems
If you are on the good side of management, it's a great place.
Wonderful compensation. Best equipment. At the forefront of technology.
If you ever get a mediocre review, life is hell.
Compensation will be changing next year.
Forefront, yes, but often times it is chasing, not leading.
Concentrate on a vision, not bean counting.
Bribing older workers to leave might work in the short term, but it's going to bite you in the long run.

I interviewed for an SDE II position with the Microsoft Academic Graph team. I will say outright that it was an absolutely terrible interview experience for me. The team asked me some specific questions about how I would add features to Microsoft A
Software Development Engineer II
The company flew me to Seattle for the interview. The process was very well organized. On the day of the interview, I had 6 interviews. The questions were of moderate complexity. I received an offer in 2 business days, and they asked me to respond
