Microsoft Software Development Enginner-|| reviews

Dynamics seems to be having an engineering culture crisis, with lots of engineers stuck in their ways, cutting corners at the cost of long-term quality to meet deadlines. Most of what you'll end up doing here are CRUD operations. Don't expect multi-tenancy to be front-and-center in the cloud strategy. User experience gets uneven attention across products and even features within products.

The politics at Microsoft are cutthroat and the performance review model based on a graded curve is archaic and contra-indicated for software development, which thrives on collaboration and cooperation. While this ranking system is supposed to have been abolished recently, after 30+ years of its extreme influence as to management promotion and leadership reviews, it is unlikely that this atmosphere of a zero-sum compensation model (there is no winner without a loser), is anything less than entrenched, and, consequently, Microsoft would not be a place to risk years of one's career when there are just as attractive jobs waiting at companies who were of the you-win, we-all-win philosophy from inception.
