Pros

It was a big company with a lot of opportunities internally.

Cons

Everything is centred around the Redmond site. The ceiling isn't that high for other geos.

There is low pay compared to big tech, and the work-life balance and stability are gone since the layoffs.

Culture depends on your manager.
