Pros

Great technology. Amazing tradition. Amazing building.

Cons

Toxic culture, horrible managers, gaslighting you all the time.

Bad WLB, on-call nightmare.

Bad higher management. They don't hold their word from the recruitment stage.

Advice to Management

Be more involved. Don't treat everyone as if they are stupid or as if they want to kiss your legs for getting them in. Treat them as professionals with backbone before Microsoft. Don't break your words on their career plan in the company.
