Smart Teams, Slow Fixes
Great environment. Most of the teams are packed with extremely smart and competent people.
Work outside the Redmond office is not valued as much, even if you produce more.
Some teams and maybe entire orgs may have a toxic culture (the remnants of the Balmer era).
This is being fixed, but some parts are moving way too slowly.
Try to reduce the discrimination. I am not talking about gender or race; Microsoft is great in this regard. I am talking about Redmond vs. the rest of the world and full-time employees vs. vendors.
