Microsoft is a great place to work with solid work-life balance
Microsoft has a great work-life balance, interesting, challenging work, and good policies and team interaction. I like my teammates, management, and compensation. I'm pretty happy working here. The benefits are also very good.
At Microsoft, you don't get a lot of the flashy things that other companies get, like free lunch or a gym on campus. Also, management has gotten more stingy in the last few years, and now our morale events are very lacklustre and boring.
Spending a bit more on morale events would increase retention and give Microsoft more of a feel of being a flashy and cool place to work. I know it feels like throwing money away, but you'll save that money back on not having to recruit people.
