Good work-life balance, decent benefits, amazing location, competitive pay.

All the above pros really depend on the team that you are working on. Growth can be stagnant if you are not in the right team.

Avoid Dynamics at all cost

Pros

Free food in fridges (so you can spend more time in the office), For people who like to play politics - you might get promoted nicely there.

Cons

Everything. Lower management is terrible, upper management even worse. They don't give a damn about people. Only money and work is important. Forget about good bonuses if you don't agree to work like 60 hours a week - excelling at your job in normal work hours is not enough for good bonus or a promotion. People who agree to do that are praised by managers and put on the pedestal, ruining the work culture. The work itself in Dynamics is horrible. As a person working mostly on both front-end and back-end, I have learned literally no skills that would be helpful for me outside of MS. Back-end is a bit better but you're discouraged to think out of the box. Compensation is not competitive considering how dreadful the work is.
