Microsoft Azure Edge + Platform

Received an offer from Microsoft for SWE 1 in Azure Edge + Platform. It’s not a team specific offer. The recruiter said the team will be assigned closer to the start date. I would like to know more about Azure E + P like what do they do? What’s the tech stack in most of the teams? How’s the WLB? TC : 180K

Azure has the worst WLB.

That’s what I have been hearing. But I also heard that it’s mostly team and manager dependent.

I work in an azure sub org and working weekends Problem is that LT here is aiming for product delivery to compete with AI offerings Any team that is coasting gets deprioritized and killed eventually.

I work in Edge+Platform. WLB is decent I don't know what others are talking about. Of course there is on call but at this point hwo doesn't. The suite of products under this org is broad. Microsoft is very VP driven and everytime changes happen at thi level teams get shuffled around. I will not try and guess. I work in the sub org called health + standards. We manage a lot of core telemetry services used in Azure both 1p and 3p. Think Amazon cloud watch.
