Free water, tea.
Using Microsoft technologies.
Not good work-life balance for some teams.
Salary is not competitive.
Work is assigned with no learning time allocated. Business-first mentality overweighs instead of employee-first.
The team at Microsoft was very helpful and professional throughout the whole process. While the process was a bit tiring, this is to be expected when interviewing with a large company. It consisted of four interviews over the course of four hours.
Position: University Grad Full Time. Process: Referral -> Onsite (4 interviews) -> Offer. If you make it to the onsite round, you get a sweatshirt! Every interview started with a conversation and behavioral questions, followed by a coding problem.
The interview process was pretty smooth, and HR was very responsive. There were four rounds of 1:1s with breaks in between. I spoke directly to the hiring team and manager and learned about their work style.
