Lots of opportunity if you can prove yourself
ASIC design is still relatively new to Microsoft. There is a lot of opportunity to share your industry experience. As processes mature, I'm sure those opportunities will be fewer. There seems to be lots of opportunity for mobility too. Benefits are nice and in-line with that of most tech companies. Not being at the headquarters, there are still very nice facilities and events.
Can't seem to hold on to good talent.
Base pay is lower than what I was paid in the past, but bonus and stock is better.
Local management could be more transparent. No one knows when someone leaves or gets promoted.
