Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) II • Current Employee
Redmond, Washington, United States
July 7, 2009
Pros: Health benefits are still above average.
Many different products and projects make it easy to change focus without moving to another company.
Good resources for career development if you find time.
Cons: Work/life balance at Microsoft is becoming a myth.
You work for a company that always follows the innovative competitors. Innovation is not in Microsoft's blood; it is a customer-oriented company with long development cycles. Any innovation in a product becomes history before the product is released. I believe this also affects the stock price.
