Pros

Microsoft has a great culture and the people are wonderful to work with. They have a great work/life balance with lots of flexibility. The benefits were amazing.

Cons

As priorities changed, I found myself working on very different work than I was hired for, which I didn't enjoy as much and couldn't perform as well in. It was frustrating because I felt there was still valuable work in my area of expertise, but it was being almost eliminated from the list of priorities. There wasn't much to assist in a transition to a new role; only pressure to adapt to the change.

Pros

The work culture and the environment is super beneficial to the employees.

Cons

Employees get too comfortable with the benefits and loyalties and might stick to a single team in Microsoft for a long time
