Still a good place to work if you want work/life balance
Still a good place to work if you want work/life balance
There are some great people technically out there.
Great benefits and an ideal place for anyone who wants to have a good work/life balance. A variety of product groups to work in if one wants to have a versatile experience.
Most of the time, we're working on products that are playing catch-up with the competition. The stock has been pretty much flat for about 8 years now, and the bonus you get is not great compared to the competitors. Microsoft is a big company, so rewards per employee are not comparable to other smaller companies.
Make bold/risky investments. Differentiate and develop products instead of refining me-toos. Capture the imagination of the consumer with one great product, and MSFT would regain its lost empire.
