Too much politics & Slow momentum of Growth
- Pay for laterals is good.
- Hikes are really bad. Sometimes they give zero.
- Middle management needs regulation and scrutiny for bad leadership and favoritism.
- Bad perks and growth opportunities are too bad given the heavy competition for climbing ladders.

Middlemen regulation is very much needed.

Pay properly and retain honest people who work for the company and its values rather than favoring and selectively promoting people.
-
At last, grow up. Microsoft is no longer the best place to work. This is filled with a lot of old managers who are still employees, trying to preserve their stack ranking.
