Is Microsoft a Dependable Company to Work For?
When looking around for a new employer, you’ll often have questions about their legacy, and if they’ll stick around longer than five minutes. This is especially pertinent if you’re looking at start ups in your industry.
Microsoft, you won’t be surprised to hear, isn’t going to fold overnight. The company’s revenue for the last financial year was a rather impressive $236 billion, which was 13% up on the year before. So yes, financially, the company is looking pretty dang healthy.

However, that’s not to say that jobs at the company won’t be at risk at any point. In fact, Microsoft tends to have quite large lay off announcements when it does have them, purely by the virtue of the fact that it employs a heck of a lot of people, 221,000 to be precise, with 120,000 of those in the US.
At the start of the year, Microsoft got rid of almost 2,000 employees, though that’s just a drop in the ocean compared to the 10,000 it shed in 2023.
Remember though that nearly all companies have lay offs at some point (especially in the tech industry), and when it comes to Microsoft, only a very small percentage of staff are affected.
Do People Like Working at Microsoft?
Last year, Time magazine rated Microsoft as the best company in the world, and not just because it’s making money hand over fist (which it is, don’t doubt that for a second). One of the major contributing factors to this impressive achievement was an employer satisfaction rank of one, beating out the likes of Apple and Alphabet.
It also has a very healthy rating on Glass Door, with 86% of workers saying they would recommend the company, based on over 40,000 reviews. 91% of employees approve of CEO Satya Nadella. It’s a stark contract to a company like X (formerly Twitter), where only 35% of workers would recommend working there, and CEO Linda Yaccarino has a measly 27% approval rate. Ouch.
You can also expect a lot of benefits when working at Microsoft, including an education budget, so you can learn as you earn, as well as employer discount on products, access to internal clubs, and excellent health care benefits.
