I am a CS new grad and have an offer from Microsoft and Citrix. However, I'm interested in startup or midsized companies in the big data/ cloud space. Any suggestions or referrals?
Go to Microsoft. Great company and you will learn a lot. Stay for 3 to 5 years and bounce for smaller company... MSFT is an amazing resume booster...
