Hit or miss, depending what team
Hit or miss, depending what team
Suburban setting with many commute options, a very flexible work schedule, and a beautiful campus with running trails. There are lots of varied projects that you can work on. You have the opportunity to make a big impact, given that Microsoft software is widely used everywhere.
The review system has changed, but only in appearance. Behind the scenes, it's the same stack ranking that goes on. Management is hit or miss; there are lots of bad managers and few great ones.
Treat engineers like engineers. Be more customer-focused. Take risks and seek new growth opportunities.

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.
