Overhyped (at least in India)
Overhyped (at least in India)
Great office space, perks, and compensation.
Trainings and workshops.
Flexibility in terms of dress code, work timings, etc.
There are some smart and efficient people.
The flexibility part highlighted about Microsoft is mostly on paper. Except for trivial things like dress code and work timings, the important ones like flexibility to work, express, and innovate remain a distant dream. Everything about you is decided by the manager. Your relationship with him and the way he perceives you can make or break your career. The work is crap and extremely mundane, especially in Microsoft IT (UST). A software developer ends up spending most of his productive time in pointless discussions and activities like bug fixes, deployments, and design reviews, which are not relevant to him. The managers here are mostly biased and useless.
Train your managers to be more approachable, sincere, and unbiased.

I had a total of 4 rounds. Most of the discussions focused on algorithms, problem-solving, system design, and a few behavioral questions. The interview process took around 15 days from the first interview to receiving the offer letter.
