The company is invested in your growth
The company is invested in your growth
Microsoft feels like a company that is interested in your growth. Managers are trained to help you achieve more and how to get you projects that you're interested in. There is enough diversity of work and businesses within the company, so you don't have to leave to switch disciplines.
Promotion velocity is slow, and the pay is not super competitive.
Focus on retaining current talent.
I see a lot of people leaving post-pandemic.
The company seems to have the attitude to not care about people who are "not loyal to Microsoft".
But not everyone who leaves is disloyal.

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.
