Hi all, New grad who accepted an offer from Commerce + Ecosystems at Microsoft. I've been researching it here on blind and everyone says it's absolutely terrible. Could someone expand on why it's so bad? Preferably someone who's had experience with it somewhat recently. If it helps at all to give a more related answer I'll be working on the govt side of the house since I have a clearance. Edit: The Team looks to be AIP YOE: 0 TC: 175k
Welcome to AIP. Azure intelligence platform with a bunch of non intelligent morons. Get ready to work every weekend and crappy on call. You work on data, big data and then bigger data. Be ready to run some commands with no documentation as you have clearance..
Oof, that sounds rough. Do you have experience with the clearance side of things? I'd imagine that any problems with the main org just get worse when in that environment.
People r still figuring out. So expect rough times..
What ihj04 said.
Whether you should take this opportunity or not depends on whether you have other offers lined up and what your options are if you don't take this opportunity. I agree with the negative comments above but this is also a team which could give you a lot of exposure working at scale given that you do not have any experience.
There is no perfect team. Commerce team's scale is one of the largest in Microsoft.

Which would you rather be at the end of your career?
Depends on the team you are in. If the stack is old legacy shit, find another team ASAP! Some of the teams are working on modern Azure tech like AKS and App Services for high scale microservices so your experience will depend on what your team is working on
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I don't know the team name, all I know is that they were facing some scale issues when I interviewed and that scala was a popular language on the team. Hopefully that implies they do work on a high scale microservice! (And hopefully fixed the scale issues by the time I start lol)
I just checked my Hiring Managers LinkedIn which said Azure AIP. Do you know anything about that team?
