Good Perks, Toxic Team Dynamic
Senior Software Developer • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
July 29, 2012
Pros: The money and cafeteria are good. They put brand new computers on your desk and 2 monitors. I sometimes got to work from home; it was very useful to deal with all the stress from office politics and Balmer's chair throwing.
Cons: That forced stacking is insane! Basically, you have a team of 10 people, and by the end of a quarter, the manager has to decide who to fire relative to all other people in your team. Even if all are performing a good job, still, somebody has to get a bad review. Guess what that does to teamwork? Nobody wants to help anybody with anything; everybody tries to screw somebody else over.
Horrible!
