Layoffs handled very poorly

Pros

Good products and technologies. Decent benefits.

Cons

Executive leadership has handled the layoffs extremely badly. Announcing layoffs rolled out at an unknown frequency over an extended period. Limited, sporadic communications. It's like water torture. Can only conclude that management no longer cares. Would have been better to do them all at once rather than letting them linger. Beyond toxic for morale. Lots of talk about empathy being a core value. And then the least empathetic thing possible.

Pros

Awesome pay and benefits plus you work with some very fine people

Cons

Toxic culture at the top that trickles down to the Field It is common knowledge that if you are a 50+ white male you will be passed over for internal roles and promotions I was used for interview fodder on multiple occasions (10+ times) before being laid off Microsoft is WOKE to the detriment of its employees and customer
