Pros

- Pretty good work life balance relative to other large tech companies (at least in my team) - I have far fewer ethical qualms / concerns about negative societal impacts for Microsoft than certain other large tech companies. The company isn't perfect, but there is a lot they do well. There are several top tech companies that I refuse to work for because I have fundamental issues with what they put into the world. MSFT is not one of them. - Compensation better than many (most?) smaller companies

Cons

- Compensation lower than most other large tech companies - As with any large company, every team has its own culture and expectations, so it's hit or miss depending on the leadership in your org, from execs who set the overall culture down to your manager who sets your day to day.
