Worst company if you have a bad manager
Worst company if you have a bad manager
This is the best company to work for, and all benefits are great, even though the salary is average to below average.
Your manager can screw your life, and you can do nothing about it. HR is meant to support your manager; do not expect anything from them.
Let's say you are a superstar on another team, and in a new team you joined, the manager doesn't like you and says "Insufficient Result." Your career at Microsoft is screwed. You cannot switch teams, and no one will hire you. Complaining to HR goes down the drain.
You have only two options: leave Microsoft or wait to get fired, or forget your life for the next six months. So you can go from hero to zero based on one manager's stupidity.
The IC should have a say in the review, and it should not be submitted to the system unless the employee and manager agree to it.

Very disappointed. One interviewer was from a different team (replacing another interviewer) and continued to ask questions on topics that were not very related to the position and that I am not familiar with.
