Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Hired abroad and brought to Redmond ? your clock is ticking once you get too expensive you are out!
Pros: Fun as you work with the latest technology. No books unless you write them.
Cons: Team members always talk bad about other members. Manager changed 4 times in 2 years with 4-6 month gaps of no replacement. People who have been there way too long sit on their butts and need to be pushed to complete their job. Managers that have way too much time on their hands deal with politics. Company has reduced headcount by forcing people to resign rather than firing them using brutal tactics. They keep you there as long as you are inexpensive.
