> What has the employee turnover rate been? At least at MSFT, we were not allowed to answer this question. These rates can also be deceptive at face value, as you really want to know the breakdown between good attrition (fired a poor performer) and bad attrition (somebody they wanted to keep left). Zero is also not a good answer, as it means that either they never fire anybody -- and you get to work alongside non-performers who make the same money as you -- or they fail to encourage significant enough personal growth that people occasionally outgrow their position faster than the company can make them a new one for them. Both are very, very bad situations. Well, unless you're just trying to cash a check.
