Search for Tom Keane ... You will.have your answer
Based on the Microsoft threads, this is one of the worst groups at Microsoft if not the worst. It's a cesspool and the VP that runs it is an asshole and keeps his bootlickers close and everyone goes through a meat grinder. If you are using this job to get into Microsoft and immediately jump elsewhere, I'd say it's ok. If you have any other option, just take that. The team in Redmond is 90% PMs. If you are joining as a Dev, most likely the work will be creating shit reports and internal tools for the PMs. What were you told that you'll do in the interviews ?
What I was told is exactly the same.
I'm going in a different direction from the question. Your initial offer was my initial offer, a level below you. So, you can probably get more. Obvs.
fast forward 1 year, how is the review for this team?
What is the offer?
