Pros

The salaries are above the average, hard to beat in Prague. They offer good benefits and, depending on the manager, the possibility to work from home whenever needed. You can find there some very clever engineers. The employers have the opportunity to shape the product with their inputs.

Cons

Microsoft has been cutting drastically the expenses, nowadays it's hard to go on a business trip, there aren't more off-sites has the team budgets are very low, only online trainings available. Microsoft also introduced a lot of bureaucracies, the integrations with their products are painful. Constant changes on the organisations, not giving people time to even adapt, and many times allocating people without the skill sets needed to the projects.
