A great place to work, but with painful work and HR processes
A great place to work, but with painful work and HR processes
Microsoft takes care of its employees. Most of the peers are friendly, and so are the managers.
Most of their HR policies are employee-friendly. It's easy to take days off, and no one stops you from taking a holiday.
One of the biggest problems with MS is the stack ranking. It forces employees to be in a "rank," and these ranks are relative to your peers. This causes a lot of good people to be at the bottom of the stack.
Get rid of stack ranking. Make the HR/review processes friendly and take manager feedback seriously.
