Microsoft

Good products, good perks, good salary.

Promotes very young employees as people managers who do not understand what managing people means.

I have had two very bad managers and two very good managers. The good ones encouraged my strengths and gave room to improve the skills that I lacked. The two worst ones that I encountered only concentrated on the skills that I lacked without acknowledging the work I accomplished. As a result, they pushed my career back by about 4 to 5 years.

I left the company now and do not wish to join it anytime soon. The only reason I stuck with the company for so long was because I like MS products and their pay was good.

Kindly do not promote <35 year olds to manage people. Often, they manage people who are much older than they are and have a very biased and arrogant view of those reporting to them.
