"Moving due to needing to relocate. Other than that, Microsoft has been a great company to work for, with great opportunities and a work-life balance. It is a huge company, so be prepared to have a completely different experience depending on your team and manager. You own your career, and moving internally is easy if you are having good performance."

"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."

Technical Program Manager

"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."

"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."
