Pros

Good product. Work life balance. Good community. Better for those looking to stay at their current leveling

Cons

On-calls for azure can be tough. Stagnant at times - promotions seem longevity based rather than result/contribution based.

Pros

I loved all the benefits provided by Microsoft. It was honestly hard to keep track of everything to ensure that I got the value out of it all, but that's a good problem to have

Cons

You know how Microsoft is supposed to be the chill big tech company with a great work life balance? That might be true in some sections of the company, but my team and the org around us was not that. At one point we hired someone from AWS to the team, and after a few months she left to return to her old job because the work life balance was so much better. Our WLB score on the employee survey was 20/100, whereas the average across all of Microsoft was 75/100. Microsoft pay isn't enough to put up with the BS we had to deal with. I used to think that they cared a good deal about diversity and inclusion, until they laid off their entire DEI team
