I feel ashamed to work here

Pros

Co-workers only care about there free time never want to help the customer. Even worse no one truly understands computers here more than my 4 year old daughter. Some of workers are useful at telling me how to solve issues temporarily but never anything innovative or sincere. Leaving as soon as something better comes along.

Cons

No higher cause here just boring job.

Pros

Working with very smart people, good work life balance, supportive management. You do get opportunities to pursue things you are interested in, even if they are not a part of your core job responsibilities

Cons

Depending on the role and product, there is a pressure to perform; 80% Microsoft has moved to CEO's new culture but 20% is still stuck with their old thinking. Everytime you have to deal with a team from this 20% bucket, it is not a good experience

Pros

Tons of flexibility, you can move between multiple 1B plus groups. Top-notch people to work with on hard problems. Cutting edge technology. Generally good work life balance.

Cons

Certain groups can have poor work-life balance. Company-level decisions are not always clear and understandable (mobile, devices).
