Pros

When I joined 4 years back, Microsoft was a beacon of hope, amazing wlb, opportunities, remote work friendly. Now, it's headed towards the wrong direction, fast.

Cons

Too many vendors, and managers coming in from Amazon, bringing in "Amazonian" values. Wlb has gone down considerably, RTO, company is losing focus trying to integrate a half-baked product (Copilot) into everything.
