Pros

The company pays well, but maked you work a lot for you to deserve it.

Cons

The culture is a bullying, mibbing culture. Lots and lots of politics only little efficiency. I’m putting up with these for years, but lately asking myself if it worths it

Pros

Good knowledgeable teams, engineers and PMs Good benefits Decent pay

Cons

Lack of promotion from within. Some directors of engineering / some managers / leads can be cliquey, this prevents promotion based on the majority of individual contributors work as they do not fit into the clique of white, male, into drinking beer and wine, chatting around and playing games rather than actual working.

Pros

- Great health package - Good work-life balance - Employer really cares (great HR!)

Cons

- Empire building can be seen - Microsoft tends to throw money at problems instead of holding people accountable; too many people take their jobs for granted and don't bring in their A game to work (great place if you are hardworking, detail-oriented and humble - easy to rise among peers)
