Software Developer experience at Microsoft
Microsoft pays well and has lots of good benefits with resources to help with them. They really do care about their employees there and will give the resources needed to get the job done more often than not.
They have a habit of laser-focusing developers into a single area of development. While internal transfer opportunities are available, it's like re-interviewing for your own job. If you're moving from, say, cloud development to web development, it can be very difficult.
Don't expect full-stack roles.
Give better, transparent feedback to your direct reports, especially to skip-level ones if it's appropriate.
