Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

Goal setting, review, reward process is still broken
Pros: Rising stock prices. Some bright spots in the company (C&E datacenter, cloud, machine learning, FPGA) and online tools (Office 365, CRM etc.). People are actually trying more to become 'one company.'
Cons: Windows is a sinking ship.  There are some bad managers. No upward direct feedback possible.  
Unpublicized, targeted layoffs are happening all over the place, impacting morale, focus and performance. This is especially so after Satya Nadella became CEO.
