When I was there about 10 years ago there were still plenty of people left who had worked on core features like tables in Word and pivot tables in Excel. Granted a decade is a long time and most of them are probably retired at this point but it's pretty reasonable that engineers working on those teams today worked directly with the people who built a lot of the original features for these applications. So probably closer to something like 2.5 years removed in a lot of cases. Microsoft, again 10 years ago, had more engineers spending their entire career at the company than I've seen at anywhere else by a fairly large margin. Especially a large tech one (maybe Google is getting there?).
