Pros

Remote work. Other than that nothing else comes to my mind anymore since all the good benefits and pride to work for this company has gone away

Cons

Leadership lacks vision, skills, empowerment and empathy. Turned into a super toxic place and narcissists are getting promoted and rewarded for maniging out top performers which they don't like. Favoritism is at unseen levels and good 'ole boys clubs wherever you are. I was proud to work for this company but the CEO and Senior Leadership Team ruined the culture. Salary is also pretty weak compared to competitors. Previously, good WLB made up for it but that is completely gone, and so are all the good benefits. Sadly, it turned into a terrible place to work for!

Pros

Good salary Bonus pension perks

Cons

Awful place to work. Dreadful culture. I was not a fit for the role originally but persevered. Its nearly impossible to get roles elsewhere. Toxic from day 1

Pros

I’ll say here what I’ve told colleagues elsewhere and family. “MIcrosoft pays me well for what I do.” The Perks+, the stock options and the 401K contributions were all appreciated.

Cons

Health insurance while decent has a ridiculously high deductible for those outside Redmond. Senior management is clearly politically motivated and practices lip service when it comes to work/life balance and desire for diversity and inclusion. If you are of a particular category (in the US), you’re clearly being weeded out to help the company improve it’s look in the industry. Companies they buy are to either stifle competition, or to extend their beholden approach to anything. Then they rip the company apart very quickly thereafter. AI and automation is the future, all else be damned. They say the encourage lateral moves within, but clearly have their favorites and all others are ignored.
