Microsoft company review
Microsoft company review
- The direction of the company is clear and apt, moving towards cloud computing and democratizing AI.
- There are a lot of opportunities in these areas.
- You can switch jobs internally anytime.
- There's no need to stick around the same team if you don't like it.
-
Compensation is not competitive with FB and Google.
-
More needs to be done to inspire innovation within and across teams (this may be specific feedback on my current team).
-
Managers have a huge say in reviews and promotions. There is no way to quantify peer feedback, and it can take a back seat.
-
Microsoft was considered an environment with higher job security; however, that's not the case anymore with increasing love for Wall Street. In a way, it was good to manage out low performers and keep folks productive, but they did not match it with an increase in compensation.
