Pros: - Microsoft Brand value - Salary, perks, stocks, and a lot of gifts - Free Cab and food

Cons: People in 5G core projects are from acquired companies, so you still see them working as startup guys and not up to Microsoft values or culture. Finally, you feel like joining a team of a startup company instead of the great Microsoft! Really long working hours, and most of the time, you need to work on weekends to complete tasks. There's no work-life balance at all! No proper documentation or required tools/environment to perform assigned tasks. Senior members of the team were also not supportive. The managers and teams who became MS employees just because of the acquisition, and not by clearing the MS hiring interview process, are very unprofessional and still not up to the mark of MS values. Internal movement is not possible since there are very few telecom projects. The manager is the supreme authority, and HR never cares whether you stay or leave because of the toxic work environment.

Pros: Reputation is really good and good for a CV.

Cons: No PPO offered to most people.

Pros: The best people to work with and a great environment. Can get to work on products that impact millions, and that motivates you a lot. Good benefits in the industry. Lots of extracurricular activities and parties on campus. You should manage to enjoy them despite having a heavy workload.

Cons: Recognition for the work done. Hectic work, though you have flexi timing. Getting into it is pretty difficult, as you are one of the pool of masses and have hopes only if you are from one of the top universities and possess good CGPA. Should be more flexible in hiring.
