Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

Used to be great place to work
Pros: Great Benefits but they are slowly cutting back more and more on better otions and shifting cost to employees.

Very flexible on needed time off

4 weeks of vacation

Most are proud to be a part of company and would not dream of leaving
Cons: Many would never leave and thus mgmt feels there is no penalty for not treating people properly.

Has become a place that rewards on who you know and not what you know or even have done.

So many leaders have come in from other large companies and brought the bad culture they escaped from to Microsoft, Microsoft no longer has its own culture.  Used to be a great place.

Company is so big that change is very hard to implement and thought innovation is dead.
