Pros

Great company, Good work-life balance, competitive benefits and salaries. Company has a great culture of GIVING to the community.

Cons

Annual performance review is based on relative rating with your peers within your team and with your other peers across the teams. Since it is relative and the performance curve is forced, some % of people have to fall in all the buckets of rating(1,2,3,4,5). Due to this, peers don't help each other much which results in lack of team collaboration.

Pros

Secure job (Microsoft is not going away anytime soon!) Good pay and benefits Smart peers Relatively flexible hours that can include working remotely when you need to

Cons

Review system is a set-in-stone curve, pitting people against each other instead of encouraging collaborative work. Poor leadership at higher levels trickles down Constant high-pressure environment wears employees down in the long term
