A very good company to work for if you can handle the Pacific Northwest weather
A very good company to work for if you can handle the Pacific Northwest weather
- Very smart people
- Good culture
- Generally very good compensation, but not the best in the industry
- Ability to change teams within Microsoft every 2 years (depending on good performance)
- Lots of different teams, all with different ways of operating and work environments. Feels like lots of little companies under a big umbrella (not sure if this is a pro or con).
- Smart people tend to be not too social.
- Can get comfortable.
- Lots of long-timers make the company feel like the government.
- Top-down direction (depending on your team).
Replace the review system with something that the employees will approve of.
