Vantaggi

Svantaggi
-not much variety outside of microsoft brands -compensation is not annually adjusted for inflation/cost of living -raises are sporadic and substandard -benefits package is minimal (you will pay a lot of money to add a spouse or dependents), medical coverage isn't great, dental coverage is next to useless, vision is ok, 401k match is a little below industry standard, dont get sucked in by promises of "profit sharing"--it's not much money -reviews are subjective whims and negative marks follow you for years -leadership is under experienced at being in leadership positions -bullying and harassment of staff by leadership is accepted all the way to the top -sexism, ableism, racism, ageism are all abundant -very corporate feel instead of creative -a lot of the work is production focused rather than creative -unwilling to listen to staff feedback and implement real change
