Microsoft

Amazing Managers

Flexible work hours for most.

Remote option with some teams.

Resources to learn Azure and other Microsoft tech.

Very little time to learn.

HR rules can be quite strict. Agreed and took unpaid leave; put it in the system. HR refused to take pay off because no director signed a written request. Ended up having to catch up.

Support is part of the role? If it's a highly used service, expect burnout with on-call in many teams.

Super flexible hours and high workload often result in long workdays.

One of the great things that drove the morale of many workers joining Microsoft was how it uses procedures and efforts to ensure that AI is not misused. But in the last year, employees have had repeat, important questions regarding responsible AI in specifics not answered over and over. Fix this problem, and employee morale will return.
