Microsoft Software Design Engineer In Test reviews

The culture of visibility, staying until the boss leaves, and working longer hours whenever there's more work to be done still exists. If you're not visible you'll get ranked in the bottom 10% in your group, and get a poor performance review which impacts your chances of getting another job within the company. The current salary structure punishes people for not changing jobs within the company every 2 years. This is compounded by the previous point.

Large company, everyone's experience differs. Some groups are toxic, and detrimental to employee motivation and health. Turnover seems to be high in groups with highly skilled engineers who leave for more interesting/profitable opportunities (good engineers are always head hunted). If you can't handle change well, you'll be perpetually stressed out losing people you built work relationships with.
