Pros

Strong cultural push for inclusivity; high-impact work; encourages charitable giving; prestigious work experience

Cons

Work-life balance should be encouraged, but the practical details of that depend on the team. Microsoft's policies, while better than 10 years ago, still push employees to grow bigger and take on more responsibilities... or get out.
