Microsoft pays well and has lots of good benefits with resources to help with them. They really do care about their employees there and will give the resources needed to get the job done more often than not.
They have a habit of laser-focusing developers into a single area of development. While internal transfer opportunities are available, it's like re-interviewing for your own job. If you're moving from, say, cloud development to web development, it can be very difficult.
Don't expect full-stack roles.
Give better, transparent feedback to your direct reports, especially to skip-level ones if it's appropriate.
First round OA with two questions, about LeetCode medium. Final round: three technical interviews, with coding questions. Since the JD mentioned language C, the coding question was done with C.
I had a 45-minute phone call with a recruiter regarding an engineering position. They discussed the specific team I was applying to join, as well as Microsoft's workplace culture in general.
The interview was easy. Most of the questions they asked were LeetCode easy. Unfortunately, I haven't been selected even after answering everything perfectly. I think they rejected me because of the ongoing visa issues.
