Software Test Engineer
"I've worked at Microsoft for about 20 years. It's a great place to work. Sometimes the employees are too smart - they forget that most customers could care less how smart you are or how hard something was to implement; they just want something that works. Interview process can be frustrating (personally, as well as trying to recruit others). Solving theoretical problems quickly has way too much leverage over hard-won practical experience. But many tech companies have that problem right now."
