- vote Is Microsoft becoming more innovative than Google? Been at both places and noticing that google is actually quite slow
- Quarterly innovation week at Microsoft I was told by interviewer that every three months or so they get a week off to “innovate” AKA do some side project or learn some new tech. I’ve tried looking into this but haven’t found anything. Is this a real benefit?
- Microsoft cloud operation and innovation team Does anyone know much about this team? Any input is appreciated! Also, how likely is it to join a team that doesn't interview you in Microsoft? Thanks!

- What can you tell me about the Cloud Operations and Innovation team at Microsoft? Currently interviewing at Microsoft for several teams but I am curious about the team I mentioned on the title.
- Why is it called FANG? And not FANGMA. Are Microsoft/Apple not competitive with compensation or innovative anymore? Just evaluating whether it's good to work there.
- Move over FAANG, it’s MAGMA now With Netflix down the shitter and Facebook becoming Meta, it’s time for a new big tech acronym. I present to you MAGMA: Microsoft Apple Google Meta Amazon. Wheres my $200k TC? #innovation #impact #tech
- vote Why apple needs Amazon PIP Amazon maintains its status as Earth's #1 employer and most innovative company in the universe today. Google, Microsoft, apple. These are now dinosaurs, consistently failing to innovate at all turns, lagging behind Amazon. How does Amazon maintain its success ? The great work ethic. The performanc
- Google is worse than Microsoft Both Microsoft and Google pay 💩 but at least Microsoft innovates. Google is a great example of what lazy rest and vest leetcoders can produce: nothing. Talk big but no results to be found. Even last in the cloud 😭
- Rating of FAANGM in terms of Innovations This is personal opinion. - Google - Amazon - Microsoft ( teams is really great) - Facebook - Apple ( innovation died with Steve jobs) - Netflix
- Why the “N” in FAANG? FAANG is a ubiquitous acronym but one of those is not like the others. It should be FAAG or FAAMG — true tech companies focused primarily on tech innovation. Netflix is a streaming media company that’s competing primarily in Hollywood. How did it end up standing together with tech innovation giants

- Projects at Microsoft noida Heard that Microsoft noidadoesn't have that good projects? If not, which teams are doing innovative work? #engineering #software
- Why is there an F in FAANG? I recall reading that MS isn't included in FAANG because they aren't consider innovative enough. FAANG originated from high performance stocks around 2013. Fast forward to today, F does not perform as well as AANG in the stock market, and when I think about it, F isn't particularly innovative eithe
- AWS VS Google Cloud and Azure Given that somebody don't mind the bad wlb and they are hyper motivated to work hard and climb the career ladder no matter what, tell me why that person should choose Google Cloud or Azure over AWS? AWS is miles ahead when it comes to cloud services and it is unlikely that either google or microsoft
- Microsoft 5000 AI Department Is Microsoft really building a 5000 person org to work on AI? Is this how Microsoft tries to innovate? Throw thousands of people and billions of dollars at something???
- Amzn to the dumpster Where will be Amazon in 10 years? I’m pretty sure it’ll be the next Microsoft and down in the dumps. Lack of innovation and no empathy for the employees giving their everything
- I don’t know why people compare Amazon with Microsoft Microsoft is nowhere near Amazon. We are No.1 cloud and No.1 in eCommerce. They are just a old and not innovative corporate. We don’t need “great” benefits because we have much much higher TC. Amazon should be compared with F/G, not MSFT for sure.
- Disney and Microsoft Partnership! Anyone working on a team that deals with this? https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/16/walt-disney-studios-partners-with-microsoft-azure-on-cloud-innovation-lab/ Seems cool!
- Get out of FAANG and boost you career Title pretty much sums up it all. FAANG companies were the dream companies of the 2000s / 2010s and were very fast growing with exciting career opportunities, bringing many innovations to the world. As they became huge companies they have become the equivalent of past corporate companies, with emp
- link EU Policy A Money Grab Every time I take a look at European News, I see the EU pushing more regulation targeting Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. In reading through a recent article, I saw that the EU is taking up to 0.05% of annual worldwide revenue from these companies to “monitor” them and I think it’s absol
- What do other Tech companies think of Microsoft? Curious what others specifically folks from Google, Amazon and Facebook think of Microsoft. Are we innovative, Have we transformed, are would even on your radar or is it time to jump ship?
- Design at Microsoft Any Microsoft Designers out there? Considering applying, would like to know what the culture is like. Interested in the only big company I still see trying to be innovative
- Is Microsoft a tier one company compare to google Facebook? Let’s not talk about TC for engineers. Curious people’s general perception from product, technology (innovation) , talents perspective, whether Microsoft is a tier one company to join and have a good career. I somehow feel Microsoft is doing more interesting products than Facebook but not sure why
- vote What's the point of the Google Pixel? I understand the point of Microsoft hardware as a way to exemplify something innovative, out show great design, so even if it is not profitable it makes sense even from a marketing point of view. But Pixel baffles me. It is not high end (Samsung dominates there), it is generally not particularly i

- Cathie wood says ARKK is not a bubble “We are not in a bubble,” Wood told CNBC. “Our strategies would be flying if we were. I think we have not begun rewarding innovation for what’s about to happen. So that’s where our conviction comes from. The bubble is in the benchmark stocks (AAPL, FB, GOOGL, MSFT etc.)”
- Microsoft’s Future What do you think of Microsoft’s future? I feel like the are continously re-inventing and innovating. Looking at Teams, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Surface Devices, and Azure is growing well. I feel like Microsoft is just about to enter a new stage of growth? What do you think?
- Sukumar simply put is bad news for Uber. AMA The new in coming CTO for Uber was a VP at Amazon. He micro managed Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems. He was supported by his close aides from Microsoft. He lacked innovation, humility and tolerance. Most probably was managed out. I worked in his organization for 3 years. #uber #amazon
- Companies that pip the most : Amazon, Netflix & Meta are getting pipped by market It's an irony that companies in FAANG that strive on fear based culture have seen their stocks flat or drop significantly in this market. Amazon has to manipulate their earnings by including rivian unrealized stock appreciation & start buying back their stocks to stop the stock from deflating. engi
- Amazon is fast turning into the old Microsoft 1. Management actually starting to discuss/sending emails about and strive for good WLB. 2. WFH extended until Jan 2022, better than Google 3.

- vote Has Microsoft's general reputation in the industry been improving in past few years? Seems to me while Microsoft used to have a negative reputation a few years ago, my perception is that they've been doing more innovation in recent years and it's been improving. Someone I know disagrees and considers them to still have a bad reputation. Thoughts?
- Making money via copying While copying is a business tactic in itself, When was the last time Microsoft truly innovated and built something from scratch without copying.

- What's the future of Tech companies? I feel: Google and Amazon are strongly positioned. Microsoft will end up becoming IBM v2 - relevant but not elite. Facebook will die in the next 4-5 years. Apple will continue to be on top provided they keep designing high quality products and innovating. Else they'll become RIM v2. What are your t
