Where are the Microsoft values really?
Pros: The benefits go beyond just 401k and insurance. You get extend parental leave for new children adopted or birthed, father and mother alike.

They give you a health savings account and reimburse you for fitness stuff yearly
Cons: They have slowly moved away from being for their employees. They took lunches and made them shorter, much shorter! Then they stretched hours made them longer much longer. You use to work m-f but they took that away as well.
12 hour shifts 30 minute lunch 4-3 days a week. If you have a family it’s not very family friendly schedule as well all know kids are only out of school during summer and weekends.

You really have no room for advancement but they preach that you do.

They on a coporate level have good values but at a working level those are not displayed

If your a female you will really struggle. Females are not treated fairly or given as many opportunities.

Holiday pay doesn’t cover your time off work anymore. Sick time only covers a staffing model of people who work 8 hours not 12.
