Mixed bag... 50% Epic, 50% Pointless
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
September 5, 2012
Pros: - Good compensation
- Good work/life balance
- Definitely get to work on interesting and fascinating things.
Cons: - The toxic, politicized yearly review system means the focus is on individual competition rather than team collaboration.
- It's very difficult to find the right people to connect with to get things done, simply a matter of scale. As a result, the company probably runs at 10% efficiency just due to churn and communication loss.
- A lot of people have bought the Kool-Aid, which leads to some poor decisions.
