      Pros

      Pay Benefits Teams Remote working

      Cons

      They are using AI to replace whole teams and expect you to basically train AI to do your job. They hired 20+ people in December to start a new team and then laid every single one of us off in May even though the team was thriving and overachieving. We had no way of knowing we would all be laid off. They sang our praises and made us feel secure only to then lay us off. Till today we still don’t have a clear understanding of why. They promised to help us get new roles within the company but made 0 efforts too. I received basically no support and was strung along until my last day at the company. Absolutely terrible experience. I would not recommend accepting an offer from Microsoft right now. They don’t know what they’re doing and you’ll probably get laid off in 6 months time.

      Pros

      + Have good memories of years prior to 2022

      Cons

      - Change managers performance ratings behind your back without involving you and call you a leader - Miserable pay rises - Everyone on tender hooks and expecting to be fired at any time leading to a hostile work environment - EVPs who just care about their own shares and share price.

      Probably the biggest disappointment in my career

      Pros

      I was so excited when I accepted my role at Microsoft back in 202. I really thought that I had reached the pinnacle of my career. Like everything I had worked for up to that point had culminated in my ability to land a role in one of the bluechip companies in the tech industry. Unfortunately the problems started right from the beginning. I got next to no training on my role plus I had come in at a time when the CSAM role was going through a transition so even when I reached out to the veterans to try and gain some insight into how I could make an impact while servicing my clients needs they often responded with the same confusions and frustrations that I was experiencing. I obviously cannot go into the details of my particular situation but my experience at Microsoft can best be summed up in "setup to fail."

      Cons

      Before I joined MS I spoke with a former employee who had told me that my entire experience would hinge on the manager I ended up with and boy was that an understatement. Unfortunately for me I landed under one of the worst managers I have ever worked under. The reason I am no longer with the company was entirely due to this person sabotaging my progression at the company.
