Pros

Benefits are amazing, flexible work (telework), capable to have work life balance and still be successful, your manager can make or break your experience, ability to change roles and completely start from scratch if you want every 2 - 3 years.

Cons

Your manager can make or break your job, annual calibration relative to your peers creates unnecessary competition between coworkers...

Pros

Great tech, smart people. You have the ability to get involved in all aspects of the business and as a result, feel like you are making a difference to customers and Microsoft.

Cons

If you are not organised and passionate you simply will not be successful. At times, process wins over common sense, however when the majority says 'enough', it generally gets corrected.
