Company under Satya is heading the right direction

Principal group program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- one of a few companies w/ lots of touch-points with consumers and enterprises - opportunity to work on products that touch people's lives -- Windows, Office, Skype, Bing, Azure, Xbox, etc. - most colleagues are smart, hard-working, and competent - company is heading the right direction by focusing on cloud and mobile - Satya is transforming company culture for the better - recent changes to modernize product development roles make sense

Cons

- old-Microsoft culture traits (aggressiveness, lack of collaboration, internal competition) still linger among small pockets of old-timers - benefits not at par vs. competition -- e.g., Google / Facebook / Yahoo! (free food, lengthy parental leaves), Apple (sizable HW product discount for employees - SW discounts are great!!)

Pros

Great Energy, great passion, great people. I loved working at the company for my first 13 of 15 years, the people is the reason I stayed so long.

Cons

Horrible leadership, leadership team was self serving. Work/Life balance is out of balance. Once I was labeled a "5", it was a horrible two years of arguing every discussion. Manager lied about my performance in order to meet attrition metrics.
