Pros

There are some really sharp, caring and thoughtful people on the team.

Cons

A lot goes on behind the scenes that is not communicated. Employees can be treated as numbers instead of people, with deceit and a lack of care. They often don't "walk the talk."

Pros

You can work remotely 100% of the time, unlimited vacation, company pays 100% of your health insurance costs

Cons

Too many reorganizations, lots of Microsoft employees getting transferred and changing the culture, increasingly slow and with cumbersome processes, lots of politics and empire building by (mostly) Microsoft employees who get promoted when they join, very few incentives for employees who have been here before the Microsoft acquisition, teams are now getting squeezed with OKRs and metrics
