Great benefits, lousy management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits simply can't be beat. I didn't pay a dime in medical costs, insurance is cheap, vacation is good, the microsoft store sells discounted software to employees.

Cons

Upper management is simply clueless. No good project survives there. If you work in a satellite office, you are doomed to be laid off so that jobs can be moved to Redmond.

Good company, bad management

Software development engineer in test

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very bright people and lot of avenues for learning. Good benefits.

Cons

Most of the managers are in the management just for the growth sake and are not technically competent. Managers encouraged reports to steps on each on other toes. Employees in the team felt like it is a running race where you constantly check how the peers are doing and try to stay one step ahead rather than working on innovation.
