Got an offer for SWE L60. How is the fluid framework team under O365? Couldn't find much info about the team except people on here generally regard O365 org as pretty chill but dead. Is the wlb and culture there good? From my interview experience, the team seemed to be pretty chill and are genuinely passionate about the things they are building, I enjoyed talking to them. If anyone can provide some insights, I'd really appreciate it 🙂 TC Base: 125k Sign-on: 30k Bonus: 10% (targeted) RSU: 100k (split 4 yrs) Location: Redmond Yoe: 2.5 yrs #microsoft #Office365 #fluidframework
Sorry, I don’t want to say much on Blind about internal company info/teams. I do know the team, and I think the read you got on them during the interview was correct. Given the concerns you expressed, I’d suggest taking the job. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Thanks! I just wanted to seek some validations in case I missed something. I'm glad my read were right.
Fluid was a cool product when I was there, and really unified things across the office stack!
I work closely with O365 guys. It’s a good team to join. Good wlb with many good products inside it.
Have you worked with the Sharepoint team? Friend has an offer from them and is considering if moving is worth it.
SPO is a good team. Work closely with them. SP is a huge team to generalize tough.
Can you please share your interview experience? How was the codility round and then the onsite experience?
We’re allowing people to work from the office now, but are functionally fully remote. I’m not on that team, but I’m confident there wasn’t an on-site interview.
I applied online, had a codility round and then a virtual onsite (4 rounds). In the technical aspect, I'd say focusing on medium LCs (especially trees) should suffice. For behavioral, my take is just be yourself. If you're a good cultural fit, the interview should feel natural and more like a casual discussion.
From an external point of view fluid seems like a super cool tech to work on! I really like what they are doing + it has an open source part to it (your work is more visible) and it seems like a interesting problem to work on!
Thanks for the input! Seems like most people really recommend the team 🙂
Good team from my limited interactions with them. Lots of interest in Fluid from higher levels of management, which is nice. It can be more challenging than established products because plans shift more often, but plenty of room for impact and the managers seem decent to good from outside at least. There is less MS-only tech too, which is usually a good thing.
It’s a good place to be. It’s revamping how we do coauthoring on multiple platforms. Can confirm we are integrating it into major apps so lots of potential for impact.
Right, I remember asking one of the interviewer about this. Glad to see that there are a lot of potentials
Tbh I’m leaving office but that’s because of stock cliff. There’s great work to be had here.
O365 is dead as in deadweight of red tape. But you're lvl.60 so hopefully your seniors will shield you from it
Is ur manager vlad riscutia.
O365 makes a ton on money for Microsoft. It’s not that chill anymore. But yes it’s not as bad as AWS Amazon.
