Fun Work, Slow Practices
Fun Work, Slow Practices
I interned with Microsoft last summer. The work was fun, challenging, and generally interesting. My coworkers were mostly helpful and supportive.
Some development practices (in my department at least) could be slow and unintuitive, leading to lots of confusion and time-wasting.
