Great team
No micro managing, was free to make decisions without lots of red tape, and could always meet with my manager if I hit a roadblock. Vey open door policy.
But the 18 month on, 6 month off policy is bad for morale.
But the 18 month on, 6 month off policy is bad for morale.
Pros
Free snacks, drinks
Cons
The 18 month-on, 6 months off poicy makes for bad job security.
Do you enjoy working at your company?
Every work experience is unique. Tell us about yours. Rate your employer.
There is a lot to learn about the culture and the values of this company.
There is room for growth and trying new things is encouraged. With parking and commuting options, on-site restaurants and cafes, and the ability to work remotely, they are leaders in making it easy to be a valued part of the team.
Pros
Free parking, on site food options, working remotely
Cons
Conflicting direction for tasks, too many layers, too many vendors
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!

Politics can make it difficult
Microsoft is a very up or out culture. If you are not working on the best product ,are not performing at your best (even if your mother is dying) and you are not in the 'popular club' on your team, you will receive a bad review,
Workplace Culture and Management: a landscape of make-believes...
I have nothing special to say except that the workplace culture was a real make-believe and the Management was not reliable and really more focused on being promoted at any costs than on doing the job.
Amazon call center
Great company to work for I always had great customer care when it came to satisfy the customers making all calls are respectful no matter how frustrated I get at times always keep the same energy being happy and respectful I started off doing packing and receiving then I took over paternity leave and did customer care
Very Flexible and can run with ball
I am on an 18 month contract hire to perform an in-depth audit and inventory of the infrastructure global sites. I have been given carte blanche to run, make procedures, interface with groups due to my experience in this subject. Due to the sheer number of responsibilities of my manager, he has also shed other projects to me unrelated to my primary project.
Fear Culture and scare tactics
Most of the time working in the department was spent in fear of being sued for just talking about what I played on my 3DS that week. To the point that I almost got let go just talking about a completely unrelated game to the job.
Encouraging job willing to give love more then receiving
I am in search of a confident employer, which I know that, the company shows the support to the employee as much as the employees show company. the opportunity the company will be receiving is a strong, solid, and loyal employee: that's goes the extra mile to ensure all guidelines are met
Exciting, innovative, collaborative, but be prepared to work hard!
The company has some of the brightest people in the industry. The technologies are exciting and sometimes it's hard to keep up with the pace. But if you are willing to work hard and be a part of the latest technology, this is a great place to work.
