Pros

+ Have good memories of years prior to 2022

Cons

- Change managers performance ratings behind your back without involving you and call you a leader - Miserable pay rises - Everyone on tender hooks and expecting to be fired at any time leading to a hostile work environment - EVPs who just care about their own shares and share price.

Pros

I was so excited when I accepted my role at Microsoft back in 202. I really thought that I had reached the pinnacle of my career. Like everything I had worked for up to that point had culminated in my ability to land a role in one of the bluechip companies in the tech industry. Unfortunately the problems started right from the beginning. I got next to no training on my role plus I had come in at a time when the CSAM role was going through a transition so even when I reached out to the veterans to try and gain some insight into how I could make an impact while servicing my clients needs they often responded with the same confusions and frustrations that I was experiencing. I obviously cannot go into the details of my particular situation but my experience at Microsoft can best be summed up in "setup to fail."

Cons

Before I joined MS I spoke with a former employee who had told me that my entire experience would hinge on the manager I ended up with and boy was that an understatement. Unfortunately for me I landed under one of the worst managers I have ever worked under. The reason I am no longer with the company was entirely due to this person sabotaging my progression at the company.

Pros

The pay and the benefits.

Cons

The culture is not what they advertise it to be. HR cares more about Managers than individual contributors. The female managers I came across at this place were the worst managers I’ve ever experienced in my life. They are all petty and highly emotional, I had 6 different female managers during my time here, which isn’t a bad thing at face value. If you don’t agree with something prepare to have your career ruined. You’ve been warned.
