Microsoft reviews

Everything. Lower management is terrible, upper management even worse. They don't give a damn about people. Only money and work is important. Forget about good bonuses if you don't agree to work like 60 hours a week - excelling at your job in normal work hours is not enough for good bonus or a promotion. People who agree to do that are praised by managers and put on the pedestal, ruining the work culture. The work itself in Dynamics is horrible. As a person working mostly on both front-end and back-end, I have learned literally no skills that would be helpful for me outside of MS. Back-end is a bit better but you're discouraged to think out of the box. Compensation is not competitive considering how dreadful the work is.

Manager drove me out, I was a top performer until we got a new manager. From day one she had it in for me, not sure why as my previous manager was supportive, open, gave great feedback and constructive feedback. A pleasure to work for. The new one was backstabbing, sarcastic, unsupportive and a downright bully. I was singled out and no matter what I did, it was wrong. Even though I hit revenue target of 159%, had amazing customer feedback and my colleagues all got on well with me. In the end I left because of her, she made me feel ill. It got to the point where I had physiological issues with the thought of going to the office. I would feel anxiety, not be able to sleep, just wondering what she would pick on with regards to my performance on that day. I left my manager, not my company. I'd been there over 10 years, until she came along. She mentioned my salary numerous times, so I suspect that I earned more than her and she didn't like it?? But there's no excuse for bullying and ever changing goal posts. Shame on HR and Microsoft for not being supportive.
