Pros

Microsoft is a great company to learn new tech, associate with some of the most intelligent folks in the industry, and choose from a number of disciplines. It fosters a challenging environment where people have unlimited potential to grow in their careers.

In the last few years, the company has done a great job to improve employee work-life balance. The review process has also been made more transparent, which gives you an opportunity to have an open discussion about your career with the management.

Apart from all these, MS offers great benefits.

Cons

Microsoft has become a large organization, and that has brought tons of unnecessary process overhead.

Advice to Management

Distinguish star performers and reward them. Goldstars have lost their value.
