Pros

Salary was high.

Time off was good.

Charitable contribution matching is awesome.

Office space and technology were good.

There was definite improvement in the vision and vibe under Satya.

Cons

Continual decrease in health benefits.

Office division pushed the QA team into development tasks that made poorer use of existing skills and passion, leading to a loss of QA talent in the organization.

Advice to Management

Figure out the right way to balance passion for quality with code throughput so that a problem is not created in the future.
