      Great Place to Start a Career; Hard Place to Finish a Career

      Pros

      Great benefits. Great People. Excellent access to resources for learning and growing.

      Cons

      A lot of internal politics which slow progress. Not so great communication between different divisions of the company. Hard to do anything truly new because the current machine just works.

      Pros

      - Decent worklife balance on most teams - Amazing benefits

      Cons

      I've been on 5 teams at Microsoft, all which promised that I would be able to do "Product Management" work as a "Program Manager." I never got to experience that. For 1 role, I spent my entire tenure coding. For the remaining 4 roles, leadership micromanaged so intensely that my job was simply reporting dev status to leadership and telling devs they had to work harder to reach our (poorly defined) goals. I barely drove specs - spec-writing felt like reverse-engineering mocks that our leadership created and promised to the folks they reported to. I deeply starting my PM career at Microsoft, aside from the financial benefits.
