How are things at Google and Microsoft?

Can Any employees of microsoft comment ?... Will microsoft start hiring for fresher (2023 grad) . When we can expect Microsoft hiring ?

Recently scrolling thru LinkedIn I found many girls from my college are getting into Microsoft as a summer intern even if they don't have any leetcode , codeforces , code chef or GitHub profiles ... I am not sure how they are getting in. Meanwhile boys are not even getting the test link or interview for that.

I wanted to know what benefits interns get relevant to travel, housing, food and commute. Thank you for your response ☺️

Can anybody working at Google India, throw some light on what’s happening with Hiring. Seeing some posts related to layoff, people interviewing, people getting ghosted by recruiters after interviews. I’ve seen few people waiting for their interview feedback for few weeks after completing their all interview rounds. Is google going to stop hiring or there are too many candidates applying? Any insights would be helpful. Thanks

Are there any Microsoft HRs here who can actually tell me why they are delaying ppo results to mid September? Isn't it too late???

I know that the atmosphere is kinda bleak right now in Big tech with massive layoffs happening left and right, but anybody still hiring freshers?

I’m not sure how to say this, I’m currently interviewing with Google India for L5 role and have one of the round scheduled next week. After yesterday’s layoff news, I checked with my recruiter and says we’re still on for next week’s interview. Can anyone in Google India share some insights about recent layoffs. Thanks

ecently, have seen 5+ posts on LinkedIn, about Google hiring for different products like gen ai, security and education. In job portal, they haven't mentioned about MBA or any specific requirement apart from yoe. Wanted to know, what does Google wants in a PM, and what is the salary range for a PM there, if they need a 4 year experienced product manager? Also, how are these criterias soft or quite rigid?

I have worked at Microsoft for a year at L59, got the job through campus selection. Despite of a lot of hard work, my manager said there is not much hope to promote me to L60 even after 6 more months. I landed an offer in Google, with 25 percent increase in inhand salary and almost same valued stock component as in my current CTC. Despite of the salary change being so good, I’ve had people telling me that this is not a good time to switch to Google because: 1. The laying off secenario at Google 2. The work life balance has become terrible there in the past year 3. There is a lot of office politics there, so bad working environment in general 4. Microsoft Stocks have a lot more potential than Google stocks Please share your opinions on Google vs Microsoft. Thanks.

I joined Morgan Stanley India as a spring intern this January. I was supposed to work for 6 months and would have been converted to a full time employee post the internship. I worked my ass off and got outstanding feedback from my manager (VP) and their managers as well (ED). On the other hand I kept asking my manager about my progress and chances of conversion. He assured me that I was an extraordinary intern and he kept assigning me work other than my project. I also interacted with other people in the organisation and received great feedback from them (upto MD level). Now coming to last week, I had a chat with my manager about the same, he informed me that the organisation has gone into a hiring freeze just 2 weeks back and thus I won't be getting converted to a FTE. Also this info is not public yet and a lot of the other interns have no idea what the situation is here. The people in my team have offered to help me out with opportunities outside the firm but there's nothing they can do inside for me. The most they can do is give me LORs but nothing more. I am a recent graduate with 2 years of experience as an intern at multiple startups and MNCs. Can the folks here help me out. Also is there anything I can do at the firm?
