      Significant growth opportunities around every corner

      Pros

      Microsoft provides great opportunities across a diverse set of businesses and is a great place to develop professionally. There is a strong sense of values in the organization and a huge emphasis on employee feedback and creating a positive working environment. There are many resources available to employees to assist them to succeed both professionally and personally.

      Cons

      Work/life balance is a challenge in many areas of the organization. While it is up to the individual to own that as much as they can, there is not consistent positive reinforcement about the importance of vacations and time away from work from leadership in the organization.

      Pros

      Non-stop challenges and opportunities working on products like Windows. Healthy competition is driving us to innovate and evolve the most basic computing experiences. Clear direction & goals, professional and respectful work environment.

      Cons

      During ship cycles the work can be quite demanding and we are never satisfied or 'done' with the product, always more to do!
