I tried to extend the existing project, but with no one to guide me (not even my manager and mentor), I did what I could

Pros

Good benefits, good atmosphere, and campus.

Good infrastructure. A status symbol working at Microsoft.

Can talk to senior management without any restriction. You get your own private office.

Cons

Less compensation as compared to others. Very difficult to penetrate the existing crowd. A kinda political atmosphere to work in it.

Advice to Management

Don't be too harsh on the interns and new joinees. Do not assign them a fastidious manager. Assign them a mentor who actually knows about the project the new guy is supposed to work on.
