Pros

There are many reasons people find a career with Microsoft tempting beyond it being a well-known tech corporation. They present an impressive and attractive company culture that focuses on work-life balance through offers like a robust benefits package and high salary.

Cons

Top heavy, everyone trying to get to high-level jobs instead of doing their jobs. Higher levels taking credit for work done by their employees. Very internally focused, MS competes more internally than it does externally.”

Pros:

  • Good benefits
  • Stability
  • 40 hours per week work
Advice to Management

Each team should craft channels based on their work, priorities, and style.

Use standard channels for conversations that everyone on the team can contribute to.

Take advantage of private channels when you need a focused collaboration space with a select group of team members.
