Senior Development Lead
Senior Development Lead
- Good benefits

- There are lots of politics.
- Good work doesn't necessarily translate into rewards.
- Senior leadership is a huge failure.
The company is losing more talent than it can attract.
Fix the review system, or you will continue to lose great people.
Microsoft cannot compete with rivals with increasingly mediocre engineers and managers.
