Pros

got to learn a lot of things. worked here for just about 3 years. Its a great place to start your career. They invest a lot in their employees. Good compensation and benefits. Overall good work-life balance

Cons

Difficult to move within the company. Essentially, you are treated like an outsider when you want to 'interview' with a different team with Microsoft. There is hardly any collaboration between groups. There are cases where multiple teams are building the same toolset which is a serious waste of time.

Pros

Great benefits. Vacation policy changed and so it is no longer an issue. Diverse projects to work on. Given a lot of independence and responsibility to shine.

Cons

Hard to move teams. Health coverage not so great. Benefits are slowly being eroded. Review system is not the greatest. Changes are afoot and so hopefully things get better.
