Lots of opportunities for the brightest engineers
Lots of opportunities for the brightest engineers
Great opportunities. Plenty of young workers; it feels like a campus. Managers are easy-going and understanding of everyone. Plenty of opportunities for career advancement. Pay is comparable and often times higher than competitors. Redmond is a great location and is located close to Seattle, which has plenty of stuff to do. Microsoft flies you out for interviews, which gives you a chance to see the location.
Like every company, there are pros and cons when working at Microsoft. Microsoft is a large company with lots of workers, and one can get "lost in the crowd". You need to stand out to get noticed.
Happy engineers are productive engineers. Don't forget that.
