A lot to learn, but can sometimes feel like the "grandpa" of tech companies
- Very smart coworkers to learn from
- Great benefits
- Usually a good work/life balance (depending on team)
- No free lunches.
- Not as open to fully-remote as other companies.
- Bad at moon-shots.
Start-up-like environment, but with none of the benefits. You are paid the same as everyone else, despite working more and having more stress.

Software Engineer
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.
Software Engineer
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.
