Pros: This is the best company to work for, and all benefits are great, even though the salary is average to below average.

Cons: Your manager can screw your life, and you can do nothing about it. HR is meant to support your manager; do not expect anything from them. Let's say you are a superstar on another team, and in a new team you joined, the manager doesn't like you and says "Insufficient Result." Your career at Microsoft is screwed. You cannot switch teams, and no one will hire you. Complaining to HR goes down the drain. You have only two options: leave Microsoft or wait to get fired, or forget your life for the next six months. So you can go from hero to zero based on one manager's stupidity.

Pros: Sleek, stylish, very interesting. Much interest, I think.

Cons: Management was non-responsive. They never listened to me for some reason.

Pros: It's good WLB at Microsoft.

Cons: Low salary compared to other companies.
