Hello, I am waiting on numbers from recruiter for a sde position at Microsoft. I am going through blind posts and saw some layoff and rif posts. I know MS does not pip much but are budget cuts/rif pretty common? When I asked my friends who work at big tech, they said Microsoft is one of thr safest employers to work for on a visa and for perm/gc/I-140 and you don't have to worry about losing your job. Blind community what are your thoughts about ms as safe employer? Also have onsitrs with other big tech but was hoping msft would be best bet. TC:77K #zr #ir #pip #ura #layoff f
It's one of the safest company (probably after Google) when it comes to layoff /pip etc.
Level and location for MS??
Safe company, you can move around just focus on your connects, document deliverables, have prior communication with your manager about responsibility and commitment, meet them and you will be fine. No PIP culture, politics in upper management is true but they are harmless
Interesting reading. Even I remember microsoft laying off ppl from Xbox team and one of our friend who moved in to Redmod had to go back to his native country due to visa constraints. Things like this can happen anywhere but PIP culture is a completely different topic all together
No pip, good WLB, Pay is shit, career growth depends upon team and org.
Microsoft has PIP. They do it by giving IR/ZR and then fire immediately.
It requires skill to get IR at MSFT.
Extremely safe
