Microsoft

• Good salary.
• Developers are treated with care. Lots of benefits, HR is very proactive, and team leads are encouraged to promote your career advancement.
• Good possibility of switching projects while remaining in the same company.
• Depending on the area, there are a lot of interesting positions and cutting-edge research.
• Diversity and Inclusion is central.

No dedicated QA. Developer engineers are in charge of testing. They have to dogfood internal software and often be on call (in case they work on an Azure service).

Communication flow among teams within the same company (but on different projects) is difficult and depends on personal connections or hardly searchable wikis. This can lead to developers reinventing the wheel because they can't easily use the knowledge from other teams.

Reorgs!

Overly positive American big corporation culture, which can be seen as engineered/insincere.

Unlikely to approve remote working from a different country.
