WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT
Microsoft’S INTERVIEW?
PROS
CONS
-
Despite the stories, work life balance is reasonable
-
You learn to be a good engineer; even as an SDEI, I got good system design experience in owning a major feature
-
Interesting and challenging problems; easy to switch teams, lots of opportunities and flexibility within roles and teams
-
Projects can be cancelled or postponed, after a lot of effort put into it
-
Can be demanding; I had great performance reviews for 4 years, but with a new team where I wasn't meeting manager's expectations, I soon got put on a dev plan and ended up leaving soon after
-
Unequal promotion criteria across different organizations. Politics around reviews. The nature of engineering work in several retail teams is uninspiring.
what amazonians have to say about interviewing
“Amazonians face problems they don’t know how to solve on a daily basis. We’re looking to get a line of sight into a candidate’s thought process, what questions they ask along the way, and what other approaches they could consider. How a candidate thinks about a problem is as important as the answer itself.”
