      Pros

      Good brand, good salary. The work life balance is very good too. It's a great place to build one's career. I would highly recommend.

      Cons

      Too much politics. The senior management has an evasive attitude and do not take responsibility.

      Good Pay but Pathetic Work culture

      Pros

      You will get decently good pay Reputed Company

      Cons

      Pathetic work culture, bad work life balance, you work as a labor just following the manager's orders. All the decision making over the projects is done by the management without much involvement from the engineering ICs who are just handed over the tasks to be completed. There is lack of transparency between management and the ICs. You don't grow as a person but only as a resource. Much of the soft skills you gain is NOT over managing projects, collaboration, innovation or leadership skills, BUT over pushing your work to someone else, negotiating on timelines and the amount of work. This type of work culture is simply not acceptable from a large and reputed organization like Microsoft.
