Pros

Smart people. Travel, additional perks like extra vacation days, possibility to work from home and leave office and finish work later. Free lunch in the office. One of best salaries in Estonia.

Cons

Office is very noisy, especially during scrum standups. Too much burecraucy and too little actual work. Career opportunities, salary and bonsuses are near to impossible with microsoft stack ranking.
