Employment status: former

Microsoft is a changed company, but it’s easy to get lost in a huge company like this.
Pros: A fair amount of independence and agency at least as a PFE. Very much you drive your own success, and not much Micromanagement. I generally found management and culture to strongly promote and embody work/life balance.
Cons: With 110,000+ full time employees it’s really hard to get noticed. The position I was becoming increasingly non-technical and more sales like and lateral movement in the company was really difficult so I ended up just leaving.
