Microsoft reviews

the standard operating procedure is to hire recent college graduates and have a seasoned person train them and then turn around and "layoff" the seasoned person - keeping the recent college graduate who has no experience. On top of this practice leadership is reducing benefits, salaries and bonus while the CEO received a 10% raise this fiscal AFTER laying off 12000 employees due to the economy.

A lot nowadays. The speak of culture but it is just lip service. The LT gives a preso on it but never is there any action items behind it. Seems a lot of new LT, managers that want to come in and change everything. Change can be good, but first learn the Microsoft processes before you determine it needs changing. Little to no trust in SLT, say one thing, does another. Unless you are a huge self-promoter, you will never go anywhere. Seems like 25 percent of the people, do the work for the other 75 percent who doesnt.
