Microsoft – “A good place to work if you understand what you are getting into

Jun 22, 2009

4.0

Microsoft Software Development Engineer in Redmond, WA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

1. Working on hard problems that impact people's lives.
2. Benefits, especially 100% medical coverage.
3. Great training program.
4. Management assigns a task and gets out of the way allowing me to do it how I feel is best.

Cons

1. It is a big company and many times politics is just as important, if not more so, than the validity of the project.
2. Hearing people talk about how much the products suck gets old.
3. A feeling that change happens to slow to keep up with the market.

Advice to Senior Management

Integrate products so people can use them together. Why WMP and Zune client? Online people are out of touch with reality. However, I live Bing and believe it is a step in the right direction.
