Pros

There are some really, really good people working here. I'm also able to work from home a lot and it saves me from commuting. There is some training available for free and a huge increase in budget for purchasing new equipment.

Cons

Our new CIO is a clueless liar and I think he sits around trying to come up with new ideas on how to demoralize the workforce. There is a video on YouTube of him gleefully telling a story about lying to the IT group and he even tells more little lies throughout that story. Unfortunately, he was just one of eight new senior leadership positions filled straight from Microsoft and all of them are similar in that they will tell you one thing to your face and do something else behind your back. If you happen to bring up anything contrary or negative, you'll be silenced, ignored, or personally attacked. Lastly, the new leadership has picked up the pace of work even more and it's really getting crazy. Salaried employees work 50-60 hours on average and have on-call duties too. Upper management here flat sucks but the Microsoft mafia is so strong that nobody can fight it.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
