Pros
- A diverse, talented team. The best I’ve ever worked with that made the challenging work manageable. - Hybrid model
Cons
I worked as a vendor for Microsoft through Designit. During the interviews, I was told this would be an amazing career path within and outside the company, only to discover soon after that there is no FTE route for Microsoft and very limited career progression within the role. The compensation is fairly low for how challenging the job is, especially considering it takes over six months just to become comfortable in the position. Additionally, the workload continues to increase with constant changes and added responsibilities sometimes without sufficient amount of notice. Every piece of feedback we’ve provided has been ignored, making the process feel like a waste of time. If they had just listened to our feedback, we would be in a better place and more inclined to stay with the company. My manager consistently micromanaged the team and created unnecessary conflicts. Every piece of feedback I provided on improving the workplace was ignored, and when we followed my manager’s ideas, they did not handle criticism well. Overall, I would not recommend working here unless you enjoy enduring constant frustration. Honestly, the situations here are so bizarre that you'd think you’re in a real life sitcom like ‘The Office’.
