Pros

Great pay and benefits. Flexible work anywhere, anytime options. The Muppet ratio is generally lower. There parental leave policy of 20 weeks full time pay is also very generous.

Cons

My role has changed 3 times in 18 months due to continual organisational change and has left me disengaged and feeling unempowered, overwhelmed and so caught up in corporate internal processes that too little time is spent focusing on empowering our customers.

Pros

Microsoft takes the time to hire great people, typically resulting in healthy teams. The culture has shifted to customer-centric and is growth oriented. Highly competitive benefits and pay.

Cons

Layoffs are fairly common as the company shifts priorities and struggles to compete with Cloud. Reorg's can be overly frequent and disruptive due to poor advance planning. Large company bureaucracy... Ambiguous or unnecessarily complex job responsibilities can slow down productivity.
