Pros: You get to work with some of the best minds. The culture is one of the best, with a very inclusive workplace attitude. Most people are warm and helpful. If you join the Hyderabad campus, it is a vast and beautiful place, and you'll love coming to the office. Salary is best in class. Very flexible timings. Various activities like Hackathons and Garage events foster interest in new technologies. Outings and events are really nice, as no corners are cut. Microsoft is a company that truly believes in and invests in your physical and mental well-being through fitness plans and other initiatives. A lot of subscriptions and resources are provided free of cost to FTEs.

Cons: Any con would be nitpicking. However, growth can be very manager and team dependent. Some teams work on legacy tech, so if you join such a team, you get stuck in debugging and maintaining legacy code, and growth is also slow. Because it's such a huge company, there can be frequent organizational shuffling, which can create some confusion. And there are Windows updates, of course, which you cannot turn off!! :P

Pros: Work/life balance is very good.

Cons: Overly managed in terms of projects.

Pros: Good pay scale. Helpful seniors. My opinions get value.

Cons: The selection procedure is tough. Being talented doesn't guarantee selection; you need to be lucky too.
