#2I'd prefer to first read an article about why I would ever want to work for Microsoft in the first place.

I'm not claiming that Microsoft is the best company to work for.
But - the "I'm to good to work at company X" attitude will not lead you far. Especially if you say that on Microsoft which still has some of the world greatest minds.

#6Why is this specifically about Microsoft? It seems applying to facebook|google|apple is about the same, and they're seen as more desirable to most people I know.

The windows and office company still has the worlds greatest minds? There's no working web office, they threw their mobile efforts away. They disbanded their browser team. What makes you think they're smart?

The article reads like Microsoft paid them to write it.

I'm to good to work at company X
That's not what I was implying. Any article titled "How to land a job at X" should probably go into a bit of detail about why X is a desirable place to work, learn, and grow as a developer. The article doesn't explain at all why Microsoft would be such a such a place, instead jumping straight to the conclusion about how to get a job there.

Indeed. Smart is as smart does.
I did once apply to work for Microsoft about five years ago, but didn't get anywhere. Now I don't really care about Microsoft, rarely use any of their products and no longer think of them as a desirable company to work for.
