Microsoft Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Company - Old is GoldSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesNovember 14, 2016Pros: 1. Learn from the place where all engineering processes have actually come up - the rest of the world actually simply follows the practices from Microsoft through its ex-employees. 2. The work culture is not very high pressure for most of the company. 3. Good benefits, individual offices, etc.Cons: 1. Cannot be fast-paced. There is a lot of inherent overhead, and the company is trying to be fast-paced but is struggling. 2. Some places in the company try to mimic Agile in unwanted ways, trying to release large client software at an unnecessarily faster cadence. 3. Be prepared for organic growth.
