Good place to work (I've been there over 20 years)
Good place to work (I've been there over 20 years)
Microsoft is stable, treats its employees well, pays them well, and you get to work with a lot of smart people. There are free beverages and reimbursement up to $800 for fitness expenditures. They offer top-notch benefits and have a huge positive impact on people's lives. There are lots of opportunities if you look, and it can be a great experience if you find a good manager.
Easy to get lost in a large group.
Terrible if you don't have a good manager.
Emphasis is often too much on process.
Work-life balance still isn't great.
Some groups aren't receptive to new ideas.
As a rule, collaborating cross-group is challenging.
Listen, support, encourage, foster creativity and collaboration, and channel passion rather than squelching it.
