Pros

Awesome benefits and work environment. Lots of challenges and resources. Respect for employees. Work-life balance is guaranteed. Seattle area is awesome!

Cons

SDETs might not have the same growth potential as SDEs, especially outside the company. They are great engineers but are hardly advertised outside Microsoft.

Pros

Benefits Working with smart people from different countries

Cons

New vision is missing, there is a lot of politics behind all key decision. There is no clear strategy on the department/division level. A lot of changes in structure every year are held to satisfied employees who are at MS for a long time.
