The company is on a good track; however, the Consulting Services business is unethical
The company is getting better every day. I love the openness and growth mindset culture.
Microsoft product teams are all about deploying the right solutions for the customer. However, the Consulting Services organization demands that their staff deploy solutions that increase billable time. When challenged, we're told not to think but do what we're told, and that revenue is more important than deploying the right solution. Utilization-based incentives drive the wrong behavior. When engagements are completed in a fraction of the time allocated, we are told to perform work slower, otherwise we'll be fired.
Shutdown the consulting services business.

Straightforward but took several months. Interviews all went well. Then, for my final interview, I had a no-show for one of my three rounds. I believe this severely impacted my final outcome, as the other two rounds went really well.

The interview involved two phones, with one group completing five rounds. Each round lasted 44 minutes, followed by a 15-minute break. The interviewers were nice and friendly. I was able to answer most of the questions.

Great conversation with the manager, an exceptional interaction with the team, and a very keen interest in what else I could bring to the organization. I had three interviews to get the job.
