Recently got offer from Capacity Planning Management at Azure. During the interviews I was not much impressed by the team and the kind of work they are doing. Estimating capacity needed by Azure in the future in a nutshell. Can anyone share their views if they know how the team is and kind of work. I have done product backend development mostly and that's what I am interested in. This one sounds like more infrastructure related and less real product based.
Is it CXP team?
Can't say..I haven't heard that acronym being used.
Can't say for Azure but I've been to SharePoint Online capacity/HA/DR team and it was mostly laying tracks in front of the train. Always struggling not to die out of hardware little time to improve anything. A lot of pressure and finger pointing just by being on the buttom of the stack. Lots of powershell and scripts, work mostly in control plane, moving stuff around, placement and all that. Some product work, like grid manager, but negligible. I guess Azure is all that to extreme. Honestly I enjoy being a client of infrastructure much more.
Would have to agree with this. I have seen these guys suffer from up close. Not pretty and lots of finger pointing for sure.
Can’t say too much. I have a friend in this team who is actively interviewing for other teams. right now.
The work scope should actually be good, but in the Microsoft world, this is just fighting fire everyday without getting burnt up.
Horrible. DM me if you have questions
Hated my experience, just left Microsoft because of this org.
Took me more than a year, still not recover yet, after left this org.
