Pros

Good salary, good bonuses, if you perform. Good benefits, such as excellent medical. Perks, like fitness compensation and bus pass. Decent parking.

Cons

Very few good managers, constant flux, low gender diversity. Culture is very different from team to team, so choose your team wisely, and hope your leadership stays the same as the culture will change if you get reorged or your management changes. Advancement is based as much on who you know and how you play politics (maybe even more), than on your skills and contributions

Pros

Great work-life balance Moving team to team internally is super easy, so if you have a bad team you can keep spelunking about until you find a good fit

Cons

Managers are typically mediocre Many product teams are weak Pay is so-so compared to other companies in tech Many benefits and events are stilted toward employees with kids and families, so if you're young, get the new hire bonus and stock, Microsoft on the resume, and go elsewhere.
