Pros

good work-life balance, great benefits, multiple tracks to get promoted

Cons

compensation is average comparing to other technology firms, and too many re-orgs. Lots of employees are simply not intersted in doing the best they could. At times it feels disheartening as people who work half as much get promoted faster. Different groups have different standards for defining value, and is not consistent company wide.

Pros

Benefits were great, surrounded by knowledgeable people who love their job.

Cons

very redmond-centric. Was sometimes difficult to work with Redmond teams on projects. The company is very Redmond-focused. Performance reviews are a pain.
