Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Good deal for a Sr PM
Pros: Great exec leadership culture, brand, products.  Excellent benefits and comp.   Good organizational transparency and high emphasis on employee experience, great technology, tools, work environment, processes to self serve.   Good self-critical culture, if something doesnt make sense, change it.  Good employee experience overall for 13+ yrs.
Cons: Success at IC level 90% dependent on your ability to manage your manager and your ability to continually impress new leaders due to continual reorgs.  Not unlike many big tech companies.

Microsoft loves to bring in new hires without local ties or committments.  Once you get a life :), work-life balance depends on your ability to impress your manager (perceived value not actual value).

Massive emphasis on political correctness, social, surface appearance/perception.  Business as usual for large tech company, but especially so at MS.
