Great opportunities, some major flaws
Great opportunities, some major flaws
Unmatchable opportunity for worldwide impact, generous benefits and pay, mostly performance-based evaluation.
If you are very good at what you do, Microsoft is a great place to be. You will be rewarded handsomely for great progress.
After a year at the company, I've received around 75k in bonus compensation due to my success. However, this is very atypical.
Management is at times totally distant; there is no communication with line employees on important matters due to a lack of trust.
Strong bureaucracy limits freedom and establishes an "us vs. them" mentality at times.
Trust the FTEs. Your lack of trust leaves us with one foot out the door, working only for ourselves and not for the interests of the company. Microsoft has largely become a place where people enter fresh from college and get bogged down.
