Pros

Great work, get to work on latest technologies. But that's about it.

Cons

0 work-life balance. Absolutely no adherence to processes. People working overnight and destroy the work environment get all benefits and recognition, people genuinely working with proper timings despite completing all the work, do not get any recognition or credits. Management also promotes only such employees. You only get appreciation when you screw up a project and then bring it back to a better stage. The management won't even know what project you're working on if you do everything perfectly and smoothly.

Pros

Can't speak for all teams/orgs but I love mine and couldn't ask for a better work environment. Emphasis is placed on end product and working together, instead of looking busy and trying to outshine your coworkers.

Cons

No free food, can't bring my dog to work and compensation is less than main competition. But if I'm being honest, I value a healthy work environment and far more than any of these things.

Pros

The Benefits are one of the best in the industry

Cons

Company is political. Satya Nadella is a CEO that cares for himself and that is well known. He looks down at people that are not as smart as he is. He claims he is average person to people and dresses down for the new Microsoft look. The company has to hire women as they have to show that they are not discriminating. This is not a new trend but now a unwritten one where Women are given the promotion in order to show the world they do not discriminate. The company is political and only cares for the top executives who pass out favors to those that are buddies. They are fortunate not to be audited by the US government again for antitrust.
