Thinking of interviewing for sde role with the share point/ one drive team at Microsoft. Any idea how good the team is in terms of engineering culture, org/product impact and challenging problems to work on. Also any other good teams people here can recommend at Microsoft. #microsoft

I watched two Google Engineers refuse to give up a seat for a lady holding a newborn baby at the airport.
Good Teams in MSFT that I know of: - Azure IOT - Azure ML - Bing (various orgs) - Education (EDU) - OneNote - mixed reviews, overall good. - Teams - mixed reviews, overall good Teams to avoid: - WDG / Windows - Office (Word, Excel etc) - Exchange / Outlook - Sharepoint
Thanks a lot for the list
I would stay away from Bing unless it’s AI or Cortana
Sharepoint sucks dude. Don't join
OneDrive is good IMO (source: worked there), especially under Bailey. SPO is shit. I don't agree that there is no politics, I found that there were a lot. Lots of crappy old code and people who live off of tribal knowledge gained through tenure instead of being a good engineer.
When did you leave?
70% bump in TC, opportunity to work on non-MS tech, heard a lot of good things about FB culture (seems true so far)
Run away from sharepoint
Any particular reason? Or just bad on all counts.
Pros: Good culture, good people and less politics. Enterprise driven. Cons: Archaic engineering/code/infrastructure. Very slow moving. Very centered around MSFT tech.
