      I'm getting what I give

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      the overall compensation package (salary, bonus, stock) and the healthcare benefits make a compelling package. Given the size of the company, I've had many opportunities to learn new skill sets, increasing my value on the market if/when I ever decide to move on.

      Cons

      walking into a room with 20 people and not knowing what 19 of them do and how it adds value to the company. Lots of redundancy, and places to camp out if you are mediocre or worse

      Company at a crossroad

      Director, engineering
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome benefit. Free medical is hard to beat! Microsoft has one of the most generous benefit called the "Giving Campaign" where you can contribute $12,000 per year and the company will match the amount for donation made to qualifying 501C. I don't know of any company that offers that.

      Cons

      Extreme bureaucracy and very hierarchal. Also, the company tend to hire type A personalities and that creates case where one who is the loudest wins out.

      Good company to work but slow career growth

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      World class employees, technology and processes. There is a lot to learn from this innovative company. Compensation is reasonable but benefits are excellent. This company is great for initial college graduate who typically don't know much about professional software engineering.

      Cons

      You could be cog in the wheel of a big company. Hard to make impact initially as the teams are quite big and lot of cross team collaboration is required. There are lot of different functional role and you will be pigeon-holed into one of them - moving to different role is comparatively hard (and risky as well).
