Pros: Great incurs and good location.

Cons: Being a contract employee, you are branded with the tag "VENDOR". Discrimination for vendors exists at every platform, from not being invited to meetings to not being eligible for almost every other service. Vendors are provided with leftover work that has minimum technical requirements. They are not invited to team meetings, not invited to team outings, and not invited to decision-making meetings (as if their input is not at all required). A manager might say, "Just finish this by evening." You will always feel like an outsider who is not given any importance. It was the worst decision to join Microsoft as a contract-based employee.

Pros: Good benefits for employees: * Free beverages * Nice cafeterias * Beautifully maintained landscapes Newly renovated, spacious open workspaces.

Cons: not the best company any more. Frequent reorganizations, for me almost a new team leader every year. Stressful evaluations twice a year.

Pros: Get a chance to work with really bright people and learn a lot. Microsoft has a complete stack of technologies, so opportunities abound.

Cons: Highly competitive atmosphere (not necessarily a con). The company could be quicker in its development processes, but there is an air of improvement.
