Smart Team, Good Balance
Smart Team, Good Balance
- Very interesting and challenging tasks if you join the right team.
- Smart colleagues.
- Microsoft cares about its employees (health, dental, 401k, stocks).
- Good work/life balance.
- Hackathons.
- No free food! It sucks.
- You won't get the latest MacBook Pro and iPhone when you join.
- To get promoted, you often should be a friend of your manager.
- Comparatively low compensation.
- Might get some routine, boring tasks if you are not in the right team, though you can switch them pretty easily.
Try to make your engineers happy by letting them work on what they want.
