Microsoft Development Center Norway, Trondheim
Pros: Great office, engineers in the various teams are all around great at designing, maintaining, learning and implementing high performance distributed systems. Nice office atmosphere (people are fond of the occasional friday-cake), free drinks and lunch is tasty.
The growth of the Trondheim office is a testament to the hard work and achievements made. Hopefully that will continue going forward.
Cons: Even though Covid requires us to WFH, I think there is room for making the WFH experience better within the team. More specifically some indicators on how we should communicate asynchronously and multitask. Getting better at this would also enable the office/team to attract more talent remotely, and also allow employees to work remotely.
