Culture and parental leave at microsoft?

Can’t speak to leave, but culture wise the parts of Microsoft ive seen have been very flexible with parents and taking care of children. You’ll have the flexibility to adjust your time in office around child care, just be prepared to work early or late (remotely of course) to ensure you hit your deliverables.

good to know, thanks!!

They just upped their parental leave, should be able to find news articles on it since it was fairly big news in Seattle. Regarding culture, it depends. I thought it was overall a good relaxed culture, but I know consulting colleagues who said some groups there were terrible. I still see it as a good company to sunset a career

Getting into MSFT is a great doorway into FAANG, so I’d say more than just sunset a career

smart

Well that's another discussion. In terms of Microsoft's culture and what I heard about it, I would be happy to move there and sunset my career

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
