What would you give Microsoft out of 10? 👇

[whoknocks]

"Meetings to discuss how to reduce the number of meetings" bro you had me dying with that 😂😂😂😂😂

[kenzito]

The fact that you could make this video is proof of how chilled Microsoft is as an employer 😅

[danielvinicius]

I'm Brazilian and I use your videos for learn English and in the same time watch stuff cools and utilities, subtitles is very important! Thanks for put subtitles!
Congratulations to the video

[Real_Slack]

Definitely going to try my best in my final round interview at Microsoft that I have in a few weeks after hearing your pros/cons. Seems like a great company to work for.

[jzoe]

As a Microsoft employee myself, I can confirm most of the things of the video, although I think employees here in Costa Rica are not boring, not completely fun, but not boring either, somewhere in the middle

[maddy]

It sounds like a kind and caring employer. Plus, I think Microsoft has the most inspiring leadership out of all of FAANG companies. 🥰

[pjchacon]

I'm a 20-yo employee. I saw the last of the Gates era and lived all through the Ballmer stagnation. I've seen the culture of the company make a huge change under Satya. An amazing change. Still not perfect, but it is so different from how it was 20 years ago. I agree that while it is not always easy to deal with, the care for security is reflected in many of the internal processes and policies. For me, the biggest downside is that here in WA, MS is not a pet-friendly workplace. Urban rumors talk about an incident decades ago, when a customer was attacked by an employee's dog in an MS building.

My man telling straight facts, keep up the good work.

[KatoKrazy]

We have similar benefits at Intel including the matching donations.

Great video!

[GGInfluxLoL]

Honestly sounds better than most companies

[xSingularity]

Video came out just in time! I applied for the Microsoft explore SWE Internship yesterday!

[captcheems]

Just stumbled on your channel as I just started my CIS courses this fall! Currently learning the basics and started with C++. I really like how you are an insider in the industry and are able to give us outsiders insider info! I really hope you can make more videos on how you or a person should get started!

[MonniqueArnold]

Oh I think I just found my new homie!! I love how honest and snarky you are!!! It's so refreshing!! I've been watching a lot of wfh swe videos lately. Why? Who knows! But I LOVE intelligent people and SWEs are def among them. Thank for making these insightful and funny videos!!

[alexbrylov]

Got a few offers and accepted one at Microsoft. After watching the video I feel like I did make the best choice possible, thank you mate! :P

[snowstar]

I’m not in the computer or tech field but I subscribed to your channel since I find you funny.. entertaining:)

[Ralpphie]

Sorry, I laughed when you said you guys need meetings to discuss how to reduce the number of meetings LOL!

This is a very transparent video working at MSFT btw

[Bola_Gamings]

Such informative video thanks. I’ll be interning at Microsoft Redmond next summer and I’m soo exited

[oscarmvl]

Great video! I just wanted to mention that .NET 6 has a built-in PriotityQueue, which should make C# a great interview language now (it was the dealbreaker for me in previous years).

[dasiths]

Another Microsoftie here but in Australia. I work with external customers hence get to use a lot of non-MS tech too (as long it runs in Azure). Also while most of the benefits are similar we don't get as many things as you folks in the USA. Compared to the other big tech companies here though it's clearly the best.
