I was able to take ownership of certain product areas. Everyone on the team was really smart.
Work-life balance in Azure was horrible. Oncall for three weeks at a time, even though it's 12-hour shifts (the India team takes over at night). It was nonstop issues for the 12 hours. I started dreading the month of oncall. My pager would go off constantly, and I'd be pulled in 10 different directions. I'd have to involve my teammates when they weren't on call. And when I wasn't on call, I'd get involved with livesite all the time as well.
Bring back the support team that handled the smaller issues.
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.
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.
