Depends on the team
- Wide range of career growth opportunities if in the USA.
- Overall, I think it was a good place to start as a new graduate. Plenty of other new graduates were hired from the top universities in Europe, and also some from EMEA and India.
- Huge user base; you can have a big impact from early in your career.
In MS Ireland, there aren't that many positions, and promotions happen at a slower rate than in the USA.
Focus better on onboarding new graduates. The new grad program back in 2013 was quite poor.
