I sometimes talk with my friend working at microsoft and he complains that things are very hard to learn at microsoft. Seems like from what he's saying there is: 1) no new hire training for tech (sde bootcamp for Amazon, GTI for Google) 2) almost no activity in stackoverflow (yasq for G, sage for Amazon) to ask technical questions. 3) no tools to resolve dependencies easily (like Black caiman for Amazon) 4) bad documentation Are these all true? I can't believe it's so limited for a company like Microsoft. #microsoft #engineering
This was mostly my experience. Luckily I was on a newer product so it wasn’t too bad to onboard. Microsoft is very team independent there isn’t a global company standard for stuff.
Mostly true.
The (lack of) documentation is such a big pain point. It especially sucks when you are working on a 20+ year old product 🙄
