Generally good people, good benefits.
Inefficient development infrastructure, inefficient information flows, lack of transparency, and walls between teams and organizations.
First round: Live coding interview with an engineer. Four rounds of interviews with engineers from different teams: * Three technical interviews * One team fit interview The final interview was with a hiring manager.
The initial call with the recruiter was brief. He simply asked about my experience. I told him about my past, which I felt was overqualified, but they turned me down without explanation. Pretty typical.
The process was smooth, though it was long. It involved four one-hour interviews with four different members of the organization within Microsoft. The questions asked included firmware, bitwise operations, and optimization for dealing with big data.
