Inside Sales EMEA Chaos
Pros: Good name in your CV, Microsoft itself is still a great company (except Inside Sales)
You extend your network with some great people who share the same misery as you. I met 2 real friends here (both already moved out of MS...)
Cons: The management is an absolute joke here. I'm referring especially to the STU senior leadership team, starting from M1 up to Director level.... They don't take you serious, complaints are ignored, no reaction to bad poll results, a lot of lies from direct managers. As a result we have a super high fluctuation...everyone is just waiting for the first year to end so that it's not necessary to pay back the relocation bonus.

Inside Sales is a source of cheap labour, no chance of getting a promotion, no change in salary despite increasing living costs (especially rent!!!!) every month. Opportunities to move are non-existent. I tried to move out of Inside Sales several times, every application got rejected or the Hiring Manager never answered my mails... ridiculous!
