Searched blind saw a lot of shit posts about the company. If anyone working there can give inisights of how it is for software engineers.
What’s TC for Sr SDE from MSFT?
I don't know. I joined a while ago before the stock was public. The salary was a bit higher than MS, the health plan is fine (feels like less out of pocket than the MS hdhp). 401k matching is recent (up to 3%), espp is new. For me it was better than staying at MS, but the stock was much more uncertain too. FWIW, my friend in recruiting says we're competitive...
Is very cliquey and politics-driven. Inflated titles are rampant. Avoid it IMO
Seattle or SF?
How is compensation
I like it. I'm in Seattle. Lots of great folks. Sure it's not perfect (no place is). Employee churn/turnover doesn't feel high (there's always going to be some). And as always, a lot depends on your team and immediate coworkers.
