Microsoft Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Bureaucratic and top-heavy with lots of people getting promoted based on relationships vs merit. Would advise against working there for any non-tech / non-product folks as the product runs the show."

"Microsoft is the premier Cloud services provider that is helping customers with their Digital Transformation efforts."

"As a employee who has joined to the company during the pandemic, I feel like the onboarding process was pretty difficult. I can understand the difficulties from the employer side as well, but still I was expecting much more than this."

"I worked with Microsoft on an 18-month contract in multiple roles within the FastTrack Center. The experience was paramount and I enjoyed the workplace. I was surrounded by very knowledgeable co-workers and was happy with the management and guidance provided by supervisors."

"Microsoft has a well developed, socially conscious culture. The influence of central Program Management Office is less evident than in other extremely large companies partially due to the breadth of efforts not always falling into traditional practices. Creativity is especially prized."

"Horrible work environment. Not provided with items to do. Little ability to provide input or move up."

"Microsoft is a strong company to growth as a professional. Work life balance is a key to make this happen. They treat employees with respect and always have the policy to make a better place to work."

"I've worked for Microsoft for almost two decades as a software engineer. It provides many interesting technical challenges and the ability to impact the world. People are held to high standards, but the people I've worked with have been professional and worked with team-first attitudes."

"I am working for Microsoft since March 2019 and its an amazing place to work. Great environment and people!"

"It's a great company to work with."

"Your review should be helpful to people researching companies. Check spelling and punctuation, and avoid excessive capitalization. Avoid identifying people by name, using profanity or hate speech or sharing proprietary info."

"Not a place to work if you want a long term career. The environment is set up so that people are placed against one another. Management is ineffective at providing growth."

"I worked for 8 years at Microsoft and found it very rewarding. The pay and benefits were second to none although the internal politics were sometimes difficult to navigate. Many times when recruiting people I would say the good thing about Microsoft is that it has a lot of money, and the bad thing about Microsoft is that it has a lot of money. Too many competing priorities, VP level people are indecisive."

"I've worked in Microsoft as a contracted product manager for about six months. Organization is huge and the product/services you work on could have significant relationship with many other product/services within the organization. It requires a good understanding about many other teams/products/services within the organization to be able to move quickly."

"Microsoft is a great company to work for. They have amazing team members and the Senior leadership team really care about their employees. They have amazing benefits and the stock plan is astounding. Not to mention, there are so many resources you have access to as a Microsoft employee. They truly care about growth mindset and developing their people. You can grow and learn into any field like Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance and Technology."
