Microsoft Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I have worked at Microsoft for nine years, they are great company to work for, they provide good compensation and benefits package. It can be challenging to maintain work life balance and advance your career."

"Microsoft is definitely one of the best places to work!"

"Good place to work overall."

"Microsoft is a company that does many products across consumer and enterprise markets. One can always find the new technologies and/or new products to work on. Giving myself as an example, I have worked for Windows, Windows Phone and Microsoft Research across multiple disciplines. Not many companies can offer those opportunities. Strongly recommended."

"I started in Microsoft from 2004. Overall, it is a strong company to work in."

"I have worked for my company for close to 3 years now and have not received a performance review since. I have not received a compensation increase, but I have been promoted in position and tasks allotted."

"Microsoft's 'Stack-Ranking' system, which forces Supervisors to rank direct reports against each other, forces a significant % to be rated as 'underperformers' and makes it very subjective how one will fare. It is politically driven and holds employees accountable for things they cannot control."

"I've worked for Microsoft for 11 months now and love it there! If you work hard you will be rewarded."

"I've worked with Microsoft for 18 years. I've seen this company evolve and grow and it contains great people. The people give the company their very best. I recommend they upgrade their environment to be more collaborative and innovative. I recommend they create an innovative atmosphere and allow new ideas. Their calibration process has kept innovation from happening and now that it is gone, we should see the company improve in this area."
