Pros: A great company for technology professionals who prefer not to get into management. A wide set of technology areas to work with.

Cons: Redmond has a major role in even small decisions.

Pros: Good salary and perks, very generous insurances. Great teammates and collaboration. Great to learn new technologies and work on high-impact products.

Cons: The only real priority of this company is to deliver. Quality and work-life balance don't really count. As long as you deliver fast, you're highly regarded, even if this means introducing many important defects in prod. Don't try to invest in a solid codebase backed by test automation and good CI/CD practices. Don't think about code refactoring. Don't think about investing in good design. There is no place for all of that; you have to deliver fast! Oh, and you will also have to support tons of products you don't even have the time to learn and properly support.

Pros: Work-life balance if not in Azure team.

Cons: Pay is relatively low compared to other companies.
