Pros

Good remote life benefits, education, and work-from-home stipends are quite generous.

Remote working is encouraged for most teams, which is increasingly rare these days.

Cons

HR is nonexistent and unresponsive. It's the worst HR team I have ever seen in my working career, who seem to be rejects from Microsoft.

SLT seems inexperienced and coasting, unable to reach the goals set forth by Microsoft.

Remote working is great, but if you want to meet in person in a location outside SF or Bellevue, it might be difficult or impossible. The team travel budget has been slashed after a recent layoff.

Advice to Management

Get rid of underperforming senior management and please put in place an HR team that actually cares about the job and people. It is demoralizing to raise concerns that are constantly ignored.
