Pros: A place to learn and enjoy good benefits.

Cons: Don't really have too much.

Pros: A well-run company with many opportunities. Good work-life balance and employee benefits.

Cons: It can be difficult to find new opportunities in some cases.

Pros: Salary is good, including a hire bonus (for the first 4 years) – the biggest in Prague for IT, I think. You'll be working with modern technology. There's a possibility to work partly from home.

Cons: Microsoft fires people and reduces teams, but the workload becomes bigger. New positions are almost never opened. The expectation is to work for free outside of work hours. USA teams often plan meetings after work hours (e.g., 7-8 PM Prague time). If you are a developer, expect that you will do FullStack, DevOps, QA, and OnCall support. (Yes, Microsoft doesn't have separate people or teams for it; software developers have to do all these jobs). Also, expect a lot of bureaucracy: daily approvals to do your job, repeatedly joining groups, and fulfilling useless documents/requests. If you have OnCall (mandatory for 90% of teams), it's 24/7 for the whole week. Be ready to solve work issues during the night or weekends, canceling your plans with friends and family.
