Pros: The Seattle area is a great place to live. There are lots of hiking and outdoor activities. Microsoft has a lot of social clubs, so you'll find other employees with similar interests.
Cons: The performance review system is amazingly bad for morale.
Even people doing just fine are worried about getting bad scores.
Instead of a positive culture of aspiring to excellence, it's all about fear.
