Great Culture, Variable Teams
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States

Pros: Good corporate culture.
Good compensation.
Good perks.
A 9-5 job. It might not be as fancy as other tech companies right now, but there are no crazy hours or expectation to stay long hours. The culture is relatively open as well.
Cons: Typical big company problems.
Difficult transparency to higher levels. Some decisions don't make sense to lower-level employees.
Experience can vary extremely between teams – hugely! I cannot emphasize this enough. One team may have a very strict, no-nonsense culture; another might be completely different.

Fantastic, just fantastic. Challenging, interesting, and surrounded by motivated and brilliant people!

Pros: You can't be in a better place in Europe if you are interested in Software Engineering. This place is full of energy and is bound to have great results!
Cons: Work time is flexible, which can be a blade with two edges. If you are bad at planning your time, this is a bad thing. If you are good at organizing yourself, this is a fantastic thing.
