Pros

Best work life balance Get to work with talented people WFH flexibility

Cons

Sometimes the reporting structure is weird: there is a manager in India and a "dotted-line" manager in the US. This causes confusion and the manager India appears to be largely redundant.

Pros

- Smart people - Most people try to do the "right thing" for the company - Culture of diversity and inclusivity

Cons

- Swathes of bureaucracy - Working in multiple time zones can stretch your day out or leave you blocked on your work - Things have to be done the "Microsoft Way" until they don't...

Pros

- lots of teams + good internal mobility means you can find teams that are right for you - great benefits - good culture - people want to help each other and it isn't hyper competitive - decent diversity - still a boys club in some places, but getting better and better at supporting women, POC, etc.

Cons

- some organizational issues - deadlines are tight and not always well managed - lots of processes and overhead to getting anything done - pay isn't great
