      Pros

      Over the 12+ years I worked at MS, the best were in the first 5 yrs when it was truely a diamond in the rough. Great place to work, great comraderie, everyone worked together toward a common goal. No egos got in the way. Now, egos rule the roost and only those who stroke them get ahead.

      Cons

      Be prepared to work harder than you ever have without being fairly compensated. The only way to get paid what you're worth at MS is to get a job elsewhere and quit.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
