Microsoft Software Engineering Manager reviews

* Microsoft perks - free software and in some instances, discount hardware. * The HMO is massive. * You get rewarded on impact not activity. * There's a financial reward that comes up every year, which includes a salary increase, a bonus and an addition to your stock option. * Your colleagues are always willing to help you ramp-up. If you're unclear about anything, just ask. Someone will answer. * You get to work on projects that impact the lives of people the world over. * The employee work evaluation structure (called Connect) is designed to near perfection. It ensures that ICs (individual contributors) and managers can accurately assess their impact without falling into the needless rabbit hole of he-said-she-said. * In terms of diversity and inclusion, Microsoft is the only big tech company to put their money where their mouth is. They came to Africa and setup the Africa Development Center which recruits indigenous engineering talents. So, this isn't Google / Amazon / Meta that hires a couple of black and brown folks just so they can look good on CNN. * You're free to apply to and move to other teams (even in other countries) if you want to, without much hassle. * Satya is a great CEO with a solid, grounded vision.

Great people to work with, good teams colaborations
