Pros

broad scope, global impact. Overall compensation is pretty good once you get past entry level jobs

Cons

hard for the company to be agile. They lack a credible mobile platform which hurts across our products. They love open space, I hate it.

Pros

Great place to begin career

Cons

Not a great place to grow unless you are at HQ Redmond, and even then, hyper hyper competitive and people steal/take credit from one another. Very poor cross-teaming culture.

Pros

Stock awards were good. Good professional training classes. Met some really smart colleagues in the time at Msft. Developed processes.

Cons

Too many hours worked. Perf reviews were a joke - so political and unfair. Leadership messaged too much integrity to get promoted - it was terrible.
