Microsoft – “Good and Bad

Jul 2, 2009

3.0

Microsoft Senior Program Manager in Issaquah, WA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

It's an industry leader, with stability and great health benefits. There are some very good people who work there (though not enough).

Cons

Everything is date focused and quality takes a back seat. Then, when quality problems rear their ugly heads, management doesn't have any ideas except to put the team in death marches. That's not management. There's no long term focus, at most they think one year out and don't focus on improving quality or productivity.

Advice to Senior Management

Start building and keeping good teams, focus on quality and productivity. The dogs are all nipping at your heels, you can't stay ahead of the competition unless you are more agile and focused on true productivity enhancements.
