Reinventing Company, Great Balance
Reinventing Company, Great Balance
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".

Met with a manager to start things off. Then, I got to know the team I'd be working with. It's not a bad group of people, but they weren't overly friendly. They seemed a little tired, as if they were working too hard.
