      It's not perfect, but easier miles better than anywhere I've worked before.

      Pros

      Can't speak for all teams/orgs but I love mine and couldn't ask for a better work environment. Emphasis is placed on end product and working together, instead of looking busy and trying to outshine your coworkers.

      Cons

      No free food, can't bring my dog to work and compensation is less than main competition. But if I'm being honest, I value a healthy work environment and far more than any of these things.

      Microsoft plays politics better than anyone in the enterprise

      Marketing director

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Benefits are one of the best in the industry

      Cons

      Company is political. Satya Nadella is a CEO that cares for himself and that is well known. He looks down at people that are not as smart as he is. He claims he is average person to people and dresses down for the new Microsoft look. The company has to hire women as they have to show that they are not discriminating. This is not a new trend but now a unwritten one where Women are given the promotion in order to show the world they do not discriminate. The company is political and only cares for the top executives who pass out favors to those that are buddies. They are fortunate not to be audited by the US government again for antitrust.

      Eternal toxic culture

      Pros

      You get reliably paid without weird financial loops. The aspirations of senior execs are exemplary. Ideals appeared laudable.

      Cons

      The reality is that nobody in the company cares about ideals, morality, trust, or collaboration. It is and has always been a micro world of power struggles. If you do not have power, you will be raped, figuratively and literally. The company keeps questionable people at leadership positions. HR will not help file-rank employees, their main mission is to protect the business unit kingdoms. Be warned, the culture empowers people in power to rape, HR will protect them, what they preach is all smoke and mirrors. So long the company has money and makes more, anything is tolerated and covered up.
