Too much politics & Slow momentum of Growth
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.
- Zero respect, integrity in reality towards teammates, reportees, and their advice. Extremely biased middle managers make the entire thing toxic.
- They are using excuses to justify peanut increments and PIP employees without a second thought.

Take signals seriously. I know you treat them as nothing but trash. But I bet, as you keep ignoring them, Microsoft gets stereotyped as the worst place to work.
-
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.
