Significant Decline in Culture and Opportunities
Significant Decline in Culture and Opportunities
Remote work opportunities continued into 2026. There was a flexible schedule a lot of the time, but not always. You can move across teams if opportunities are available.
Culture has completely shifted from before COVID. It can feel toxic and cutthroat at times, and the company doesn't care about the employees anymore. Their "customer obsessed" culture is really just them wanting to make record-breaking profits while giving the employee the bare minimum. Compensation is lower than other large tech companies, but work-life balance isn't even good anymore. I worked on the Azure bare-metal team and contributed directly toward the bare-metal work just to get PIP'ed the next season.
Managers need to coach employees, develop a relationship with them, and provide feedback.

I had four interviews in a row with four other candidates in a round-robin style for a new grad engineering position on Azure. There was one really hard interview, one that was kinda hard, and two that I thought were pretty fair.
