Microsoft is not Mom friendly
Pros: This review is to highlight the pros and cons of a working mom at Microsoft. HR has great benefits in terms of mother's rooms, support forums, generous maternity benefits and time off.
Cons: Moms returning to work are by default at the bottom of the stack rank 
Microsoft could have more part-time positions available to make it attractive to returning moms
Support more remote working capabilities such as dial-ins and videoconferencing for meetings. These are standard for most bay area companies which in spite of longer work hours offer flexibility and hence are more attractive to working moms.
