Pros

Microsoft being an established professional company, it respects employee's Work-Life Balance The Health Benefits are amazing. However, that is going to change from next year There are many competitive opportunities. The work does give sufficient work satisfaction.

Cons

Microsoft has become IBM of 1980's. It has become more bureaucratic. Microsoft has a relatively lower compensation compared to its competitors. It needs to encourage more innovation. The innovation it encourages are all short-term innovations. There are few divisions though which are quite innovative but, large sections of the company are age-old and unable to keep up with the competition.

Pros

I found Microsoft to be one of the best company to work. Good salary, great work culture, freedom to work and awesome team vibes

Cons

Sometime team leads doesn't give a good attention to employee growth which can hamper the motivation of employees. Surely employees should be concerned about their growth themselves but support from team managers is equally important.
