Microsoft Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"The company benefits are amazing, the work life balance is good. The day in the life of a Desktop Support Advisor is a crazy one. Imagine having to solve 15-25 technical appointments in 15 minutes or less. Then imagine your supervisor asking you to maintain top sales with the floor salesmen. Yeah, really. It is a chaotic work environment, plenty to do, plenty to see, plenty of problems that need to be solved. If you like doing just one or two tasks a day, THIS IS NOT THE JOB FOR YOU."

"Wouldn't recommend working at Microsoft."

"I've worked for Microsoft close to 1 year and it is a wonderful place to work."

"Good place to work. Nice environment."

"Not much to say about working life in Microsoft. I got laid off shortly after being transferred to Microsoft as the result of its Nokia acquisition."

"Strong company with great values and gained excellent working experience. Couldn't ask for a better environment."

"Microsoft is a fantastic company - great vision, great benefits, smart people. But there is a corporate hierarchy that gets in the way of truly making a difference until you reach higher levels - this is a very top down driven organization."

"Very good company to work with overall but be aware of some unusual labor practices not expected from a company like Microsoft."

"Great company to work for."

"Great company, but very competitive on the inside. Difficult to develop a long term career. Microsoft is interested on moving people and hiring younger talent each year. A lot of time focused on internal stuff. The company moves fast but still slower than what is really needed. Joined 1993 - recently left."
