Microsoft: a great company to work for
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
October 31, 2008
Pros: Career-advancing opportunities, working on the most interesting stuff out there, and they treat people very well. I don't know if there's another software company in the US which treats its employees like this. I'm not talking only about benefits, but about respect.
Cons: Sometimes, there are situations in which you have to work late. Also, it depends on the team you work in.
Another downside would be that your promotions depend solely on your manager's decision. So if your manager doesn't like you, you're pretty much stuck in your job.
