Microsoft reviews

Management - it's only one word, that describe - DRAMATIC. You cannot have own opinion, own style of work - only what is expected, to do exactly things in the way corp says to you. Reporting to Russian management without any understanding of Polish Customers and mentality causing lots of difficulties and very toxic atmosphere - things like working from home are not welcome, taking vacations neither. CEE Account Team Inside Sales has nothing to do with Microsoft values and working style.

D&I gone mad: Before I start, I 100% believe in workplace equality - equal opportunities for men and women of any race. That said, even though 20% of Computer Science Grads are Female, Microsoft's push for 50% of senior staff being female and will "positively discriminate" for roles. In talking to managers you are often given the heads-up not to apply for a role as this needs to be a female hire. This has gone so far that there are rumours that senior male execs being offered large packages to 'voluntarily' exit. Also when restructuring rounds go around, it is very rare for females to be considered, meaning male job security is lower than females. As a result if you are an ambitious male I would not encourage you to join Microsoft - that said if you are female, this is a fantastic place to join (which I guess is the goal anyway) The internal inspection and self-justification is excessive and if you are coming from a smaller organisation in particular the red-tape to even get quotes to customers will likely be frustrating
