Experience worth having

[ For Microsoft Corporation ] Posted September 10th, 2007 by abind in

Work Culture: 
There is a lot of focus in providing you a good work/life balance. There are periodic reviews/surveys where you can let the higher management know if your manager is giving you too much work and your reviews will be given good attention.
Career Growth: 
Employee's respect - IC's (individual contributors) are valued much more at microsoft than at any other company. It's the developers that drive projects more than PMs. Growth/career potential - Great exposure. You have the flexibility of switching to different product groups and trying out different roles.
Overall Comments: 
Hiring process at microsoft is highly overrated. I found it strictly average. Thankfully they don't ask stupid puzzles anymore. Talking incessantly and confidently while also making sense is the key.
