      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company. Good benefits. Very competent Co-workers. Good managers for the most part. You can get promoted in level without getting a new position to a certain extent. Your career path is your own. You can do anything you're passionate about.- there's no pre-determined path.Options to work from home.

      Cons

      Salaries for South FL are not commensurate with the high cost of living. Global company means concalls at all hours. Benefits are not what they used to be. Latest review system and performance policies give to much power to managers and thus are open for abuse by a bad manager. After a certain level moving up is very slow. You can get a much better title and salary by leaving the company and getting re-hired.

      Can be an amazing place to work if you land in the right place

      Group product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are good - esp. if you negotiate well Good work-life balance Career development & training are good Depending on your team - highly flexible working Casual / informal working environment - can be huge amounts of fun The people are (on the whole) really great - you will work with likeable people (In the UK at least) a truly diverse employer that really takes protecting its employees seriously International business often with opportunities to travel Extraordinary flexibility to move within the organisation to different disciplines and learn new skills Depending on your team and boss real opportunities to take on big responsibilities and work on great products

      Cons

      They were trying to tackle this when I left but there's too much internal competition and it gets in the way of business Matrix organisation that doesn't alway incentivise collaboration across teams - but as above this may have changed Microsoft has suffered huge market share decline across products and this can be demoralising This is true of anywhere, but you need to make sure you land in the right place with the right boss and the right people around you. There are pockets of high politics which can be corrosive If you go in too junior, you'll get stuck. In spite of Satya Nadella, it's hard to rise Business planning and forecasting processing often more about showboating than reality - again not always good for business

      Former employee of nine years

      Group program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of career opportunities. Great brand recognition. High impact roles. Satya really has the company heading back in the right direction. There needs to be some more changes up top, but it's on the right path.

      Cons

      Like some other big companies, there are individuals that are not making a big impact, but still receive big rewards.
