Pros
  • Competitive pay
  • Remote work available
  • Microsoft is exploding right now
Cons
  • Depending on the team you're placed in, it could make or break you.
  • You will wear a lot of hats. Engineers are sometimes stuck doing data analysis for weeks on end, or acting as product managers and coming up with product features.
  • There is lots of self-starting if that's what you enjoy; you will be told to find your own work.
  • Product managers are never responsive and are spread very thin.
  • Upper crust engineers are exceedingly difficult to ask for help or questions, and you will feel the power dynamic. It's not a pleasant or collaborative environment whatsoever.
