Pros

Very good compensation and benefits.

Rising stocks.

Great and smart colleagues.

Great company with good values, but the Prague branch (Dynamics Marketing) is not really following them.

I like our CEO.

Fridge full of free food.

Cons

Bad management - No people management, just project management.

People are overloaded; some people are burned out or close to it.

Too much stress - Bad planning, no ability to react in an agile way.

People need to work overtime to manage to deliver management plans.

Many reorgs. Too much politics.

I am not feeling like I am part of great Microsoft here.

No time/space for self-education - always buried in work.

Advice to Management

Focus more on people; people make a difference.
