Great benefits and pay. The people I worked with were smart and had a great work ethic. I also enjoyed a good work-life balance that was respected by my team.
The promotion cycle was a bit slow. They still review their employees with a bell curve, which leads to only a select few getting promotions and big bonuses. Even though many people deserved them, the stack ranking only lets a certain number of people get promotions each year.
I saw many of my colleagues leave before their signing bonus was up because of this.
Keep going with the direction Microsoft is heading! Embracing open source and other platforms while maintaining the business value we bring will make Microsoft great again.
