Counteroffer

I know some companies don't issue counter offers at all, how about these 4 big companies: Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google.

Facebook no, google yes.

Facebook does.

Microsoft Mo Aug 13, 2017

How do you know? Did they offer you a counter when you worked there and threatened to leave?

Microsoft Mo Aug 12, 2017

Microsoft yes.

Facebook doesn't, at least not in average (anyone can make exceptions in exceptionally cases)

what do you mean issuing counter offer?

Microsoft samurai6 Aug 12, 2017

Same for Microsoft. My manager tried getting a counter offer for a guy we lost to AWS. It wasn't approved. Actually the guy was walked out the same day.

why would they walk them out for suggesting a way to keep top talent??

Facebook ickwhistle Aug 12, 2017

msft has that policy. If you announce you have accepted the offer from the competitor company (and I heard Facebook was recently added to the list), they walk you out (with security help) same day

Facebook added a signing bonus as the counter. No change in the rest of the package. Google actually tried to up their offer when I told them I accepted Facebook's offer.

Microsoft Mo Aug 13, 2017

I don't think we're talking about the same things. A counter offer is when you try to leave your company and the company you're leaving tries to give you financial incentives to keep you there.

all companies counter...

In my particular organization, it's plainly stated: if you interview for another job while being employed by the company, and are fishing for a counter offer, they will not entertain the idea, and that you should leave.

If they ban that, how else should one fish for higher salary then

I just left Google to join Facebook. FB increased my total cost by 50%!

Microsoft SysAdmin Aug 14, 2017

Depends on your Google's comp too.. if that was already like 150- then its possible
