      Pros

      Good career opourtunity if you are working in Microsoft Redmond. It is better to avoid Microsoft IDC if you are interested in building an Individual Contributor career. Translucent annual review. Chance to provide anonymous feedback to your manager but the action taken on it depends on the upper management

      Cons

      To grow, you need to be selfish. It is always better to be identified as a great individual since you will be compared against your coworkers under the same lead.

      Pros

      Microsoft provides great opportunities across a diverse set of businesses and is a great place to develop professionally. There is a strong sense of values in the organization and a huge emphasis on employee feedback and creating a positive working environment. There are many resources available to employees to assist them to succeed both professionally and personally.

      Cons

      Work/life balance is a challenge in many areas of the organization. While it is up to the individual to own that as much as they can, there is not consistent positive reinforcement about the importance of vacations and time away from work from leadership in the organization.
