Microsoft

By and large, a very high hiring bar for development. (Not sure with the new conversion of SDETs to SDEs).

Sustainable working hours for the most part. Some cutting-edge research and product development with hard engineering problems to solve.

Affordable living close to work. Good perks.

Poor management. Employees are disillusioned with HR and management.

Too many PMs running around doing nothing and taking most of the credit with "visibility". There isn't enough work to go around so devs just spend time doing their pet projects until they get cancelled and they are reorganized and moved.

Too many reorganizations and moves!!!! Not agile by any stretch of the imagination.

Instead of laying off SDETs, have the courage to lay off middle management and senior+ level folks who aren't really contributing much to the company.

Have the most customer focus in product teams.

Product decisions are made randomly by GPMs (or at least it seemed so).

Have the entire product team meet with real customers and engage as a startup does for deep understanding of what they are building.
