Microsoft reviews

Where you are hired in at, is where you will stay. Microsoft only promotes after years of "Microsoft" experience. If you are an experienced individual... make sure you negotiate your desired level before you join! No matter how hard you may work and excel, you will be trapped unless you can convince a senior level manager to skip promote you—you will be stuck close to where you were hired in. Check with other Microsoft personnel as to where you are in the overall scheme of things before you sign on the dotted line.

1. If your manager is not good, then your life will be horrible. Manager is the king. 2. They will put complete blame onto you even though manager does his side of mistakes, but only you suffer because of the 6 month reviews they provide 3. The Microsoft culture says about recognizing individual working style, be inclusive and all, but none of that would mean anything if your manager pins on the wrong side of all those things. 4. Not really good with work-life-balance either, the managers did not have any clue on how much it would take to implement a task and just push on pressure on every task I have had 2 really good managers though, but 2 horrible managers as well. With my 5+ years of FTE experience and 4+ years of vendor experience with Microsoft, I would say Microsoft has changed a lot after Satya came. You do understand that if the company does well for customers, then it means it would be horrible for employees right?
