Don't join the Dynamics org

Pros: If you have a family, Microsoft benefits are best in class for health insurance and 401k matching, among other reasons.
Cons: The Dynamics org has tone-deaf management that no one trusts, due to their frequency of allowing retaliation to happen against their employees.
In particular, the location of South Bellevue is poor, especially for lateral moves, as any sort of networking happens on their main Redmond campus.
