Constant re-orgs, and then laid off a few months after being hired
- Competitive benefits and compensation.
- Some co-workers are extremely passionate and intelligent.
- Industry leader in some product categories.
- Big company and everything negative that comes along with it: politics, miscommunication, self-promotion, etc.
- Some employees don't contribute but are still rewarded because of the above.
- Some products feel out of touch with competition and the market.
- Somewhat out of touch with industry best practices and could do a better job of catching up.
Layoffs really could have been handled better. Having them loom over the workforce for months was bad for morale.

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.

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.
