      Pros

      Free food, decent benefits, South Bay location. 401k is good. ESPP was ok under LinkedIn (not great), and is now worse under Microsoft. Work life balance is good.

      Cons

      Best days are long gone. Microsoft acquisition has seen lots of changes for the worse and many of the good people have left or will be laid off (my opinion). Engineering departments are way behind what the real leaders are doing.

      Pros

      Decent salary if you negotiate well (I didn't) Generous RSU's (mine tanked) not sure what will happen with M$FT in charge Work Life balance is actually pretty good Awesome Benefits: 401k match - 50% of max (9K) Mega Backdoor Roth option (another 27K) unlimited vacation (DTO) Closed the first week of July and During the Xmas Holidays Perk Up program for free massage, childcare, etc. Gift matching They still have pretty good food (it used to be better) Free snacks Free Gym Generous Paternity leave probably lots of other stuff I'm forgetting

      Cons

      Our org is in a free fall, 3 Good managers axed in the last quarter! Serious cultural changes occuring, it's not the same company I joined 3 years ago. Lots of people leaving all across our building. It seems like someone new every week, there were 3 this week that I personally know. Cons: Tools that support our team are non existent or woefully inadquate Politics (watch your back) Lack of accountability Culture is changing Nobody is happy, hard to stay motivated I used to love this place but now it's time to go :(

      Great place to work IF you fit in

      Pros

      Culture of this company is amazing. Jeff Weiner has been able to grow a strong culture and values even at 9000+ employees. Benefits are better than even some of the best companies in the valley. Overall mission of creating economic opportunity is meaningful and you feel connected.

      Cons

      The culture is very young (millennial). There is another review out there telling Gen Xers and baby boomers to stay away and it's unfortunate that the review is very accurate. They promote work life balance well but if you are older and have different outside of work challenges you may find yourself alone. The biggest non-work problems I heard were "where to stay for Coachella?" or "have you eaten at xxxx in the City?" or "I didn't like the food today" Again - great place to work IF you fit in.
