      Inside Sales MEA team is scandalous

      Technical seller
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Microsoft is a top name to have on your CV

      Cons

      The Inside Sales organization is a mess The Middle East and Africa (MEA) team is the biggest manifestation of that. The amount of bullying and nepotism in that team is astounding The assessment of seller's performance esp in the STU (Sales technical Unit) is positively subjective. There are cliques esp in the MEA team and certain people and nationalities have maneuvered themselves into lobbying and favored positions at the unfair expense of others. There's hardly anything technical about being in the STU SSP or TSP.

      Great Company with excellent benefits

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Change to work on emerging technologies Fantastic Benefits Most employees welcome collaboration CEO has reinvigorated the company

      Cons

      Older staff are laid off more frequently Layoffs seems to be the new norm around quarterly earnings announcement Revenue and profit is strong, yet layoffs persist for seemingly little business reason. A person is laid off, the job title changed and then a younger person is hired to replace them.

      D&I is only talked about but not followed, toxic workplace

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company benefits. You can see some great people managers and leaders but also not so capable and very egoistic/arrogant who are still with the company due to their tenure. Leads to a toxic web of management circle sometimes due to their relationship with each other over years. Makes any good thing hard to surface after layers of politics.

      Cons

      Many old timers in top level management who talk about D&I but do not follow it. Retaliated and bullied by manager for raising a D&I issue despite strong evidence. HR didn’t act to rectify either. D&I is just in the books but not in practice at all: Some internal processes are extremely slow. Promotions are highly subjective and seem based on tenure instead of performance. Got top performer of the year last year and after raising a D&I issue within 3 months , moved to bottom most performer despite all kudos and appreciation from 360 peer feedback. Ratings are at the mercy of the manager!
