You will learn life skills with veteran microsoft politicians. It will help you to become better leader in future. Better join politics after this.
Less stocks and stupid level system. Less growth after principal.
I’m happy to see this finally getting the attention it deserves. “Microsoft had argued that the number of womens’ human resources complaints should be secret because publicizing the outcomes could deter employees from reporting future abuses.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-women/mic...Read more

All around I see people complaining and wanting to leave Microsoft. In my experience WLB is amazing and although other companies pay better pay is not terrible. I am curious because Microsoft has a very high rating (4.1) but all I see are complaints. Are those that hate Microsoft just more vocal? Y...Read more
HW role at AMD Austin, work looks promising. No complaints about my role at Microsoft (Redmond,WA). I was planning to move to Austin because SEATTLE has become expensive. Is it wise to move from a $2T company to AMD ? AMD TC: Base: 145K Stock: 60k over 3yrs Sign on: 10K Bonus: 15% Current TC: 155...Read more
Seems like almost all of the complaints about lowball offers are coming from L4/L5 Google equivalent roles Just like Microsoft where they pay crap for mid level and senior level roles but more competitively for other levels
Microsoft announces unlimited PTO - or strictly speaking "discretionary" time off. And the number one reaction here is panic and complaints. What's wrong with you? Aaaaaa I can't accrue and cash out anymore. Yeah it's time off. You're supposed to take time off. Mind-blown...
I remember Microsoft used to touted as a toxic place to work(think my company) and a place of worst wlb. But, today, Microsoft is fine. Not much of complaints. What has changed? And, how?* TC: 300K *Asking for a friend
People keep cribbing about compensation, rightfully. But the difference you're seeing is not as signficant as it appears. There are a lot of benefits we take for granted in Microsoft. Just over a month in Amazon and I'm already noticing that very clearly. There is a problem to fix, but not as bad ...Read more
At Amazon we have a constant battle where 100% of employees feel underpaid/incorrectly paid based on external offers vs. tenured salaries in the same role. Do Google, meta, Microsoft, apple also feel the same or do you have better comp policies and lesser complaints given the refresher policies TC:...Read more
We see complaints and know shitty things about working at Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Oracle...... But I have never seen a thread about bad things at Google. Is it because Google is perfect, or because Google is well known to be the best place to work and people don’t speak up about bad things?
I have been at Microsoft as l64 PM in Azure with TC $320K for less than 8months. I like what I do and no complaints with work life balance. Apple approached me and I slayed the PM interview. New tc $428k. Cons: 1. I have to pay back $50k Microsoft sign on bonus. 2. No vested stocks. Will loose ...Read more
Since the start of covid we pipped 2 new grads on my team. Great motivation for engineers to perform and avoid being bottom performers. Also good for maintaining a high talent bar (only keep decent talent and purge bad hires like most new grads). If there wasn't pip, this place would be full of sla...Read more
I left Microsoft in 2019 and all people complaint about was being underpaid and product/software being crap. Joined Amazon and all people complain about is stress of getting PIPed and WLB Anyone can shed light on the main themes people complain about in FB and Google?

There's a petition going around Microsoft right now about allowing dogs at work. I know there are companies such as Amazon and Google that allow them and I have not heard complaints from friends that work there so it seems to be working well. I'm curious if anyone that works with dogs has any commen...Read more
Are Microsoft executives really out ‘scouting’ female employees? The woman was a mid-level employee apparently. What’s worse is she never made an HR complaint about it 🤢 I remember the 2019 letter from that engineer alleging have a sexual relationship with him. My question is, why ladies? Why f*ck...Read more
I am thinking about leaving Microsoft for FB or Google. I have been in Microsoft for 3 years now, and I have another 3 years of w.e. I am in Level 61 and TC 180K. Overall I don't have any complaints, but I think I could get a better pay by switching. There is obviously the prestige of being in FB/G...Read more
