Decent place to work in general
- Lots of different things to do and different teams.
- Team change is easier.
- The Cloud/Bing side is growing all the time; there is always a new challenge.
- The development environment is not streamlined. Each team has its own solution for the same problem (e.g., deployment scripts, build system).
- Software development positions require strong soft skills to climb.
- Internal documentation is not good.
- Benefits are no longer competitive.
Please invest more in a better engineering environment and process.
Embrace open-source solutions over in-house ones; this reduces inter-team dependency.

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.
Software Engineer
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.
