Pros

The people are fantastic, they all want to do the right thing by and for customers. The cloud head reinvigorated the company.

Cons

Beware of the review process, stack ranking still exists in a modified form and it drives all kinds of had behaviors. People are concerned with making an impact and they will hoard information and step on each other to make it happen.

Pros

I mean it is Microsoft. The people here are amazing. Technical talent is some of the best in the world bar none. The challenges here are non-stop. What you can learn is only limited by your ability to multi-task. Ground breaking technology is at your fingertips all the time. Learn and grow. You can only go up and your career is driven by you.

Cons

Work, while the reason for being here, can become the only thing you ever do. I dream about cases sometimes. The fun needs to come back. Microsoft, in its maturity, has forgotten that there can be a balance.

Pros

Work with hard-working, smart people. Fair compensation; opportunity to grow.

Cons

The job can take all of your time - if you allow it. Very important to stay diligent about spending time with family and take care of your health.
