- 2.0Interesting Work, Hostile CompetitionEngineer • Current EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesJuly 17, 2013Pros: Entry-level jobs are good, and you get to work on some interesting stuff. Offices, buildings, and the cafeteria are nice.Cons: The review process makes everyone at the same level compete against each other, so basically, you are competing directly with your fellow workmates. This makes for a hostile work environment. Each year, there is a stack rank, so you are constantly living in fear of this and have to make sure you will survive it. Success here depends heavily on the relationship you have with your boss (but not always).
