Pros

I love the job; it's fun helping customers transform. The tech side is, of course, fantastic. I have a wonderful and diverse team.

Cons

Organizationally, they have swung so far left they are becoming openly discriminatory to white males. Rumor has it that if you want to hire or promote a white male, it requires VP approval.

Advice to Management

I'm a huge fan of diversity, and Satya speaks to the reason for needing a diverse workforce quite eloquently. However, something is getting lost in translation because most of the white men I interact with have said they have no future at MSFT.

Many are already looking at other opportunities that will give them mobility within their career.

Disenfranchisement of an entire demographic is the opposite of diversity and inclusion.
