Good exposure to executives, good exposure to smart people, and access to product groups across the company. Good spirit of camaraderie towards one mission.
Culture can be somewhat rigid compared to other tech companies and varies greatly between teams. There is not much company investment into employee groups and activities, and almost no company-sponsored morale-type events.
Pay attention to keeping employees happy in things other than their exact assignments. Things like the quality/price of dining and morale events/team community matter.
I first saw this hiring post at a software conference. After sending my resume, I received an interview request in about one week. It was supposed to be a phone interview, but I went to the interviewer's office because I am local. The interviewer
Mostly basic data structure and algorithm questions, with a few rounds and some behavioral questions as well. Interviewed with all different people. They were relatively speedy in scheduling each interview and were considerate of my time.
Interviewed with Bing at Bellevue, WA. One of the interviewers showed no interest in me. He was playing on his cell phone the entire time, without looking at me or the whiteboard.
