      Interesting work but too much bureaucracy and politics in legal department.

      Pros

      Interesting work, novel issues, working at the intersection of law, business, and tech.

      Cons

      Management doesn't always trust or empower their employees. Experience, inside and/or outside, is downplayed or ignored by "lifer" managers. What some of these lifers have contributed or continue to contribute to justify their roles is not clear. Politics clearly play a role in promotions and role assignment - they follow the form of the process over embracing the substance of the process.

      Pros

      - MSFT brand in your CV - Customer facing role

      Cons

      - Heavily opting the BROs culture! - No Career path/Coaching for Non-FTEs staff - Salary increase/bonus are all back to leader guesstimate factor, no fair clear and achievable KPIs - Some leaders set unclear challenges full of buzz words - Technical learning curve becomes flat so quickly in a year or max 2 depends on your prior experience - Non-FTEs are not treated or having responsibilities nor having career progression likewise full time employees - Conversion from a Non-FTE to full time employee is based on manager's subjective favor, no fair opportunities are given to all. - No HR, no rules protecting your rights and benefits when you leave, and labor law allows company shifted type of contract against the Non-FTEs.

      Pros

      The benefits go beyond just 401k and insurance. You get extend parental leave for new children adopted or birthed, father and mother alike. They give you a health savings account and reimburse you for fitness stuff yearly

      Cons

      They have slowly moved away from being for their employees. They took lunches and made them shorter, much shorter! Then they stretched hours made them longer much longer. You use to work m-f but they took that away as well. 12 hour shifts 30 minute lunch 4-3 days a week. If you have a family it’s not very family friendly schedule as well all know kids are only out of school during summer and weekends. You really have no room for advancement but they preach that you do. They on a coporate level have good values but at a working level those are not displayed If your a female you will really struggle. Females are not treated fairly or given as many opportunities. Holiday pay doesn’t cover your time off work anymore. Sick time only covers a staffing model of people who work 8 hours not 12.
