      Mixed - depends on the group

      Pros

      I had one group that was pretty good with organization and process, so that folks didn't feel too overwhelmed, and knew what their priorities should be. There was reasonable work-life balance as well. The work could be interesting, although with competition between leads, there was come cherry-picking of assignments away from those who were interested.

      Cons

      Another group was terrible - there was no coordination between the different teams, and too many "high priorities " at once. It was not clear whether the right things were happening. There are so many teams in a company of 90,000+ people that it really doesn't matter whether I name it or not, your chances of arriving there are miniscule.

      Pros

      Microsoft has a very competent engineering workforce, you are always working with some of the best of the best here. Even as a vendor I am treated as one of the team

      Cons

      There is a very bureaucratic structure, sometimes a lack of communication at upper levels, poor adoption of some of their own software
