Microsoft

Energy and morale have been improving a lot since Nadella took the helm. The company is re-inventing itself and moving in a promising direction. It's not a boring enterprise company anymore. "Not invented here" syndrome is being cured.

Great work-life balance. I've worked under several different managers, and they were all great in this aspect. You have the freedom to set your own pace (to a certain extent).

Excellent benefits and perks:

• Top-notch 401(k) plan with a very generous match
• Health insurance
• Employee discounts
• On-site health center
• And a lot more.

Old culture is fading, but it is still there. A lot of people still focus on personal achievement only.

Compensation is less than what competitors offer, unless you're at a high level (principal and above).

Be more explicit about encouraging teamwork. Guide people to say more "we" instead of "I".
