Pros

- Good work life balance if you aren't an on-call azure employee - Great facilities on campus - Good mobility within the company

Cons

- Some teams are much more demanding than others, for the same pay - I couldn't afford a house in Redmond even as a SWE2 - "Unlimited" time off (This is a pro depending on how much your manager likes you) - HR / Hiring process seems incompetent. They lose applications and referrals for no reason. You have to engage managers directly. - Lower pay than similar roles at other companies
