Featured Review
"It’s fine, some orgs better than others"Jun 23, 2022
★★★★★

Current Employee - Product Manager

I have been working at Microsoft full-time

Pros

Pretty progressive culture. Flexible when and where you work (at least part of the week)

Cons

Flexible hours can mean flexing into your evening. Hybrid is annoying when LT won’t let employees work remotely by choice.

Advice to Management

Choose LT that actually believes in the mission. Not just someone who was successful at Microsoft and then boomeranged back into a CVP role.
