Pros

Strong compensation and benefits. Flexible work hours as needed.

Cons

Toxic environment where employees hide their true feelings and beliefs as they would be attacked if they differ from Microsoft Social Agenda. Microsoft more concerned with politics then putting out a great product or service to "all of their customers".

Pros

May be buildings nothing much to say

Cons

Azure is very old school and far behind AWS/GCP. Azure is surviving on Microsoft base and very old school . I wonder how can they sustain long term growth. Poor pay and very political.

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.
