Microsoft reviews

- Does not have much growth opportunity for stock value given current poor suite of products (Vista, - Office 2007, Windows Live...etc). - There is quite a bit of politics in some groups and that leads to low morale as some employees feel - Online products are not getting any traction due to poor quality. - Encountering some employees who are incompetent and indifferent. - Promotion could be tough. Also sometimes people get promoted not because they care about products and customers, but because they know how to build relationships with manager, which is bad for the company itself. - Not exciting place to work, low morale.

Lack of coherent corporate vision and constant re-organization churn. The company likes to style itself as being data and metric driven and yet executives can and do override data and analytical work withou supporting data. While Microsoft talks a good game on diversity, in reality they do very little to attract and retain under-represented minorities. Don't bother trying to find an out and open gay man in a senior leadership position at this company. Microsoft has a diversity organization that is weak and ineffective with little opportunity to effect real change. Facilities are cramped with many employees sharing office space. The vast majority of groups have offices in and around Redmond and commuting to and from these sites is annoying and costly.
