Not a bad place to work
Software Development Engineer • Former Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India
January 4, 2013
Pros: I worked for Bing, and the work was pretty challenging.
Cons: As it is a very big company, the role of a single employee is minimal. Also, if the work location is not Redmond, your work might be scrapped off and de-prioritized.
Pay in India is less compared to many other companies.

Nice People, Brutal Stack Ranking
Software Development Engineer • Current Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
October 22, 2013
Pros: Relatively laid-back working hours. People are usually nice. But I heard this really depends on teams. I have friends in some teams that have brutal hours, but their teams generally get more opportunities for promotion. So I think this is fair.
Cons: Stack ranking in the annual review process is brutal. No matter what, they will pick 20% of employees to give bad ratings to.
4.0
Microsoft is amazing in terms of work culture and gives plenty of opportunities to make a difference
Software Development Engineer • Current Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
September 12, 2012
Pros: One of the best in terms of perks, work environment, and work resources. It gives independence to work on projects and features.
Cons: Slow growth in terms of promotions and pay.
Politics and more of a "show game" that brings people to the limelight.
No honest meritocracy.
