Microsoft Working Culture
Pros: Microsoft is a great employer when it comes to looking after its employees. There are many benefits for working there. Offices are very modern and personal benefits give an extra incentive to do your job well. Promotional opportunities are good generally if one becomes visible as much as possible in the organisation. The company also encourages working from home and this in general increases productivity.
Cons: One third of your work there is about making yourself visible to other departments by doing several case studies and attend many meetings irrelevant often to the nature of your work. This takes a lot of your working hours and as a result you have to often work late to meet up the demands of your role.
