Microsoft is what you make it
Microsoft is what you make it
Salary, bonuses, and growth opportunities in your area.
If you end up in the wrong team, it's possible you won't like others around you or be drowned in work. It is a highly competitive environment, and to succeed in it, you must love the game.
Ask yourself: if there is a choice to go to war or not, is your answer "yes"? And are you willing to lead it without backing down, even if you are bleeding?
If the answer is yes, you will succeed; otherwise, you might do better somewhere else. MS is a battlefield.
Focus more on morale and team dynamics; that is your job, after all. If you have that down, project success is almost guaranteed.
