      Pros

      Very friendly team, excellent benefits, really booming technology. It is honestly a dream for someone willing to take a risk on new technology. The management is really open and interactive with the team.

      Cons

      San Francisco is expensive. There is inherent risk in working for a start up. Definitely not for everyone.

      Great job, experience, work, but toxic culture taking over

      Pros

      Challenging work, smart people, great benefits, opportunities for growth. If you want to move around and get different experiences within the business, there is support for that.

      Cons

      Culture over the last few years has been declining, and is now very toxic and cannibalistic. The new review system drives the wrong behavior and is very demoralizing. Microsoft has publicly said that these elements are appropriate for a "high performance company", so don't expect changes. The company speaks of the business value of work/life balance, but does not support it with action within their management philosophies.

      Pros

      Microsoft has Great Pay and Health Benefits. You get to work with technical smart people and get to work with the latest Microsoft software and technologies.

      Cons

      Horrible review system. Demoralizing to the workforce. Compete and backstab your own coworkers. Everything is great until you get a manager who you are not buddies with.
