Pros

Overall, it is good to be part of Microsoft. They pay well, and benefits are good. Bonus and stock options are also good.

Cons

Responsibility expectation is huge. Recently, they removed the no-cost medical benefits, which will make all employees likely take a big cut in their take-home salary. The 401K match is only 50%, where most big companies match 100%. Work-life balance is always hard to maintain.

Advice to Management

Increase the 401K match to 100%.
