Pros

Smart and passionate people, people are always striving to improve processes and tools. Awesome benefits especially medical coverage, free shuttle for employees for commuting, awesome products. Company is trying to update older style workplaces, etc.

Cons

Manage up or Manage Out doesn't always apply to eveyone on the team meaning they manage out some really solid contributors with a lot of experience just because they don't want to keep moving up in the ladder. Review model doesn't really reward collaboration, very competitive. Dev vs Test culture. test is seen as gatekeepers...

Pros

Old MS employee always they like MS in old time, but not recently. Thing change and people is leaving.

Cons

The great tech was happened before, but it looks like now they more care is review, and review is controlled by small group of people -- leaders. So making good relationship to leader is more important compare with making good product. Tech become a tool, not goal. More and more MS employer start tired to internal political and lost trust to MS
