Low Pay, Poor Leadership
Low Pay, Poor Leadership
No pros for Microsoft now.
- Very low compensation.
- Messy reduction in force (stretched over 3 months and everyone, including managers, were on edge, low morale).
- Poor leadership.
- Slow growth (senior software engineers have been there for 14 years).
- Feels outdated.
Get with the times. Provide higher compensation, and maybe all your good talent won’t have a reason to leave.
