Great place to work and great benefits, but what about the future of the company?
Senior Software Developer • Current Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
September 5, 2010
Pros: Best health benefits.
Very flexible working hours and great work/life balance.
Ability to change areas within the company as no other company... one year work in OS, another in SQL, and the next in Bing.
Freedom to use whatever OS, tool, etc. you want (other companies are much stricter).
Cons: - Too centralized in the USA; not many opportunities for employees to work in other countries with compelling jobs.
- Although everyone knows Microsoft will still be a strong company in 10 years, nobody knows if it will be like IBM, which is still strong but not close to what it was in the past. This reflects in your stock award value and future growth.
