Pros

Great perks and benefits for all employees. There is an amazing campus and quite a good bunch of people in general all around.

Cons

There might be teams where growth can stagnate a bit, and there'll be a lot of office politics, which demoralizes a large number of good people.

Advice to Management

Team leaders should try and take in regular feedback from employees to address any cases where team culture is deteriorating. Microsoft is famous for its culture, and it should always live up to it.
