Pros

There are no pros anymore.

Cons

Flattening of the organization without a real care for people who were previously managers. Gross management incompetence from the top down. Lack of accountability. Benefits on the decline. Review system hasn't changed (it's who you know like it's always been). This company has changed - for the worse.

Pros

Benefits other than health (which I now consider a con) are great such as software discounts, bus passes, on campus cafeterias with great food.

Cons

Health benefits are more costly ever since Obama care was announced a few years ago. Work life balance can really suffer in some areas, especially where I am in the core Azure and dealing with excessive feature development due to 'playing catchup' with AWS. Some areas can still be super competitive despite being 'One Microsoft'.
