Cool products to work on and good experience. Remote work is easy if that is something you want.
Work just as hard as other tech companies for less money. You have to make senior or else you will eventually be let go.
Hi! Have interview with MS outlook team soon. Any suggestions on how to prepare , what areas to concentrate & level of difficulty? Please also suggest about design interview questions. Thanks!
Saw an opening in the design research team and I'm thinking of applying. So I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with the team? From what I've gathered so far experience can vary greatly depending on group?
If my cursor is on the right screen and I click on an email in the right screen the email or window should open on the right screen too correct? Someone please explain for my tiny brain why it doesn’t work that way?
It gives me the impression that the company is outdated. Does anyone else feels the same way? (they also use MS Teams for communication) #microsoft #outlook #teams

Saw this on LinkedIn today. Not sure if I agree with Michael Jordan part. Yes, the company is doing good work in AI, but I don’t think it has changed anything significantly. I feel one day Google Bard will be good enough to surpass OpenAI. MS office, Outlook and teams were useful even without AI. I...Read more

I only have a couple publications and basically no research, and no strong LORs, only think I could really compet...Read more
In 15 years, I see MS becoming the equivalent of companies like SAP or Oracle. SAP and Oracle make extremely popular software for the b2b market, but there's no innovation or excitement. The only people I know who use Outlook, teams, the whole office suite, are business people. Most people use gmai...Read more

I'm 100% sure I want to stay in or around the tech industry. I enjoy coding and solving issues, adding features, running tests and so on.
