Wonderful company, not so understanding of mental illness
Pros: Wonderful, smart, motivated people
Fantastic perks including but not limited to lots of free food and booze, free entry to tech events, tuition reimbursement, fantastic health insurance, etc
Very philanthropic company who always wants to give back and supports employees that do, too
Honestly, I can't say enough wonderful things about Microsoft. My time there was amazing.
Cons: I suffer from anxiety and depression, and during my time working through my medication, they were not very understanding of my fluctuations in productivity even after I explained the situation. This could have just been a team or manager level thing, but it left a bad taste in my mouth that they couldn't have been more understanding. I realize that companies are all dollars and cents and time is money, but sometimes you want to be treated like a whole person.
