Great to work for, very corporate culture though
Great to work for, very corporate culture though
- Competitive wage and benefits
- Working on cutting-edge, global projects
- Excellent experience
- Tend to only use their own tools, so you get really good at Microsoft stuff, but not so good at other leading industry tools and frameworks.
- Large scale means slow moving, with many hurdles and processes to get changes and developments into production. This is rightful so, but can reduce enjoyment.
- The success of Azure has changed the culture to be a bit more "results" oriented. You won't get acknowledged for addressing fundamentals.
Reassess the results. First, the methodology does not breed productivity or excitement for work.

Very simple and straightforward. They don't just look for the final answer; they look for how you arrived at the answer. Be sure to talk your way through deriving your answer.
