Pros

Very good compensations and Benefits. Rising stocks. Great and smart colleagues. Great company with good values, but Prague branch (Dynamics Marketing) is not really following them. I like our CEO. Fridge full of free food.

Cons

Bad management - No people management, just project management. People are overloaded, some people burned out or are close to it. Too much stress - Bad planning, No able to react agile way. People need to work overtime to manage to deliver management plans. Many reorgs. Too much politics. I am not feeling to be part of great Microsoft here. No time/space for self-education - always buried in work.

Pros

- vibrant atmosphere - amazing products - good future perspective for investors - good work life balance - amazing building - general good ethos with customer care and data protections

Cons

- pretty much no perspective of development into other parts of corporation - movement out of Inside Sales is actively discouraged - salaries that are only 2/3 of what industry standards are - chances of moving up into manager roles almost zero - promotions happen very rarely and are subject to personal likings of managers - managers that have no clue how to motivate people

Inside Sales - Worst job ever

Pros

Fantastic Company and Products, company strategy is excellent too. CEO is very charismatic and talented.

Cons

Inside Sales Dublin is simply one of the worst place to work for a Tech Pro. Compensation is ambiguous, with impossible targets to reach and no KPIs. Hiring process seems very poor as well, completely random and different. Technical level is extremely low, with no opportunities to learn, nothing really technical here, just random sales topics. Ad-hoc completions of tasks and projects, with a lack of organisation and procedures.
