Nice job, but boring
Nice job, but boring
Pay is good. I'm told the benefits are nice, too. Work can get pretty easy sometimes.
It's pretty boring, all told. My experience has very much been: they tell me what to do, and I do it.
I really hate my team's tech stack, too. I think I would literally be 1.5-2x more productive if I didn't have to fight/grope through our build system to accomplish stupidly basic tasks like adding unit tests and making sure DLLs end up in the right directories.

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.
