Pros

I've encountered mostly just people with a good attitude. Everyone is really trying to make a good job and are open to new ideas.

Cons

Poor technical expertise from leads/managers. Their position is still very political. Developers seem to work too much even if they are not doing things right.

Pros

Very good office, comprehensive HR support humanitarian vacation policy, opportunity to work with global colleagues

Cons

Lots of technologies MS used are just for their own, not popular for other companies. Salary is not competitive. MS is not like the previous giant anymore. And the work/life balance in my team is very bad.
