Culture not what it’s cracked up to be

Pros

Benefits (medical, dental, 401k) Brand recognition Snacks and stocked kitchens The product is actually valuable Some offices are pet friendly

Cons

Culture is toxic in some departments. Lots of favoritism and false promises from management. Perks are mostly focused on HQ while satellite offices are ignored. Not as employee centric as they would like you to believe. Low pay.

Company going through an identity crisis

Pros

- Good work life balance as pointed by everyone - No vicious / back stabbing politics (yet) - Great technology foundation and decent product

Cons

- The company has a consistent knack of hiring average or below average performers, especially on Sales and Marketing side - If you are not in the PSFT clique, you have little chance of breaking into the executive ranks or just progressing to the next level - The last 2-3 months has seen a lot of attrition, and it's understandable why - The Performance Evaluation has little meaning and career planning is non existent (it's a combination of HR not being interested and Manager being below par)
