      Great place to work

      Pros

      Company is very forward-looking with the new leadership (Satya). Culture is rapidly evolving to be caught up with, or ahead of, the competition. Wide reach, with lots of opportunities to make an impact on the world. Time-off is very flexible. Work-life balance is well managed on most teams.

      Cons

      Lots of legacy/historical process slowing down the company, making work frustrating at times. Currently a lot of churn to reach "ideal state" as quickly as possible (as mentioned in the pros). Company culture is still not very in-tune with the rest of the market and how competitors do their business at a tactical level, but this is improving in the last year.

      Reasonable pay, good chances to grow

      Pros

      I felt like there were good opportunities to work on products with a wide reach. The pay was fair, but not stellar. The benefits were very good.

      Cons

      When I started, the company felt pretty young, even though it wasn't. Riding bikes or playing Frisbee in the hall were normal. By the time I left, things like that would have been frowned on. The company felt much more corporate.
