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

Varied roles, a good working environment, and great place for those with a passion for technology.
Pros: The people are talented, energetic and hard working. The facilities and benefits are good. There are a wide range of roles available, for some roles career progression means moving to Redmond.
Cons: Over the last few years, the scorecard mentality has driven some negative behaviour. The current review system discourages collaboration, and the consequences of being at the low end of the scale are difficult as there is an attrition metric to hit. This also discourages people from taking a risk and trying new roles.
