Pros

Compared to other tech firms, life is easy at Microsoft. You don't have to work long hours (on average 5 hours a day, I guess), but can still get promoted if you are good at what you are doing.

Cons

Compensation is lower than competitors at the same level.

Advice to Management

Increase the stock refresh every year at every level under L68. This is how you can compete with other high-tech firms.
