Pros

Salary, infrastructure, and other employee benefits

Cons

Full of politics, either very little work or too much of bad quality work.

Unnecessary competition within employees.

Hostile, humiliating environment.

The managers will keep bullying you to work more and more, still will never be satisfied.

And they have the full right to spoil your connect even if you have received good feedback from other colleagues.

So if you aren't buttering your manager, or happen to get under a hot-headed manager, be ready to be thrown out of the company.

The answers you will get after that is Microsoft is undergoing restructuring.

Very cruel way of firing.

They target some people, humiliate them the whole year, make their "connect" bad, extract as much work as they want, then ask them to give resignation, else undergo PIP which is targeted at termination.

Advice to Management

Instead of going on a hiring and firing spree, utilize the human resources you have. Guide them, encourage them, appreciate them, and stop treating engineers as slaves.
