Microsoft reviews

However, I also faced some challenges and difficulties during my time at Microsoft. I felt that the company culture was not very supportive or inclusive of its employees. I witnessed several layoffs that seemed arbitrary and unfair, regardless of performance or seniority. Working for Microsoft requires discretion and prudence in your communication and interactions with others. At Microsoft, I found out that career progression is not easy. They talked a lot about support and training for the next level, but I hardly saw any employees being promoted. I also felt that the lower and mid-level managers were not very effective or empowering. They often followed the senior leadership’s agenda without questioning or challenging it and did not stand up for their employees when needed.

- disgusting treatment of employees and shameful process led by UK HR leadership which seeks to roll redundancy over a three month + period and trashing the culture in the process - lack of communication and senior leaders gone into hiding to avoid difficult questions - Toxic work culture rooted in people just trying to survive and not be singled out - loss of many benefits including being able to travel to see customers if you can count that as a benefit, morale, phones being taken away etc - acting like a broke start up - meanwhile the company is growing 30% driving a wedge between this fake narrative of having no money
