Project & Programme Manager
Pros: Good package overall - they have a system to pick and choose your benefits every December like life assurance, critical illness, cycle to work scheme, pension contributions, child care vouchers etc.
Bonuses given in September, but not as good as they used to be / Employee purchase / Opt into Share Scheme. Salaries above average. Cloud technology and Azure the key focus right now. Satya, our CEO is driving the company in the right direction. Good working environment at the Reading Offices.
Cons: Microsoft going through streamlining at the moment - so constant fear of losing your job with reorganization plans and buy outs. Poor work life balance - everyone working long hours.
