Great vision, bad middle management
Great vision, bad middle management
Microsoft could be one of the few dream employers out there. Great products, getting back to cool and innovative.
Upper management in Sweden is busy writing books and attending conferences. Meanwhile, at the office, middle management pushes sales programs around and micromanages. If you don't make your "ACR" target, you're punished. It doesn't matter if you're in sales or an architect in the customer success unit. There's a huge salary spread without any motivation; which vertical you're in is a lottery.
Clean up the old management that's been around for ages. Make sure that "growth mindset" and all that are values that are valid.
